# Google Chrome: Shopping feature lets remote attackers bypass access restrictions

Chrome's Shopping feature failed to validate input, so a crafted network request could reach a privileged page it should not. Chromium rates it medium severity; the description does not say what the attacker can do on that page.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the Chrome version: `chrome://settings/help` or `google-chrome --version`
- Confirm the installed version is at or above `157.0.8103.38`

## Fix

- Google Chrome: move to `157.0.8103.38` or later

## Timeline

- 2026-11-03T21:19:18+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-121115

## From the sources

Improper input validation in Shopping in Google Chrome prior to 157.0.8103.38 allowed a remote attacker to bypass system access restrictions into a privileged page via crafted network traffic. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
