CVE-2026-16422 is a high-severity insufficient validation of untrusted input vulnerability in Google Chrome's certificate handling on Linux. In versions prior to 150.0.7871.182, improper validation of certificate-related network input can allow a network attacker in a privileged position to induce incorrect domain trust decisions, resulting in domain spoofing. The issue affects the browser's handling of certificate data rather than a memory-safety condition, and can be triggered through malicious network traffic presented to the victim's browser.
