CVE-2026-17751· NVD / CVE Program· CNA Chrome

Inappropriate implementation in AdFilter in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.39% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) 151.0.4129.59.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) 151.0.4129.59 or later.
