CVE-2026-11169Network attack vector

Cross-origin script injection

Published Jun 4, 2026 · Updated Jun 4, 2026

XML injection in Google Chrome before 149.0.7827.53 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML via a crafted XML file. Google's advisory identifies only the XML component, and the linked restricted issue leaves the incorrect XML-processing operation undisclosed. A user must open the crafted file; successful exploitation runs attacker-controlled content in other origins, enabling browser-mediated data access or modification.
