CVE-2026-12027 is a high-severity insufficient policy enforcement vulnerability in the Headless component of Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.115. The flaw is described as an inappropriate implementation / insufficient policy enforcement issue that allows a remote attacker, after first compromising the renderer process, to potentially escape Chrome's sandbox by using a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability affects the security boundary intended to confine renderer compromise and prevent code or actions from reaching a more privileged execution context outside the renderer sandbox.
