CVE-2026-12459 is a high-severity universal cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Serial component of Google Chrome prior to version 149.0.7827.155. The issue is described as an inappropriate implementation flaw that allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary scripts or HTML by luring a target to a crafted HTML page. Because the flaw enables script or markup injection in the browser context beyond normal origin restrictions, it constitutes a UXSS condition rather than a conventional same-origin-limited XSS issue. Chromium-based browsers that incorporate the vulnerable upstream code, including Microsoft Edge, are also affected until updated to builds containing the Chromium fix.
