Summary

CVE-2026-4453 is a medium-severity External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter (CWE-472) vulnerability in Google Chrome. Its CVSS base score is 4.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 7th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation (static analysis, fuzzing, unit tests) directly finds integer overflow defects before deployment.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

SI-10 directly requires validation of all inputs, eliminating the assumption that client-supplied parameters remain immutable.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Secure engineering principles require use of safe arithmetic constructs or language features that structurally eliminate integer overflow during calculation.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require server-side validation of all inputs instead of trusting client-supplied immutable parameters.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.28 Secure coding mostly match
prevents

Secure coding standards require server-side verification of client-supplied data, eliminating the root cause of external control of immutable parameters.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development and acceptance will detect parameter tampering vulnerabilities before deployment.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates input validation and integrity checks that directly prevent external tampering of assumed-immutable parameters.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for validation of all inputs, including hidden fields, mitigating CWE-472.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
degrades

Secure architecture principles require defensive coding patterns that mitigate integer wraparound risks.

A.8.3 Information access restriction none match
none

Information access restriction can limit which parameters users may influence, providing a secondary layer of defense.
