CVE-2026-17973

Local process-memory disclosure via crafted HTML

Published Jul 30, 2026 · Updated Jul 30, 2026

Information disclosure in Google Chrome for Mac before 151.0.7922.72 allows local users to read process memory via crafted HTML. Google identifies the affected component only as Views; the restricted issue record does not disclose the incorrect operation on page-controlled input. Exploitation requires local access and user interaction with the crafted page, and the reported consequence is limited to sensitive process-memory exposure.
