Summary

CVE-2026-91727 is a high-severity Use of Incorrectly-Resolved Name or Reference (CWE-706) vulnerability in Google Chrome. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Path Interception by Search Order Hijacking (T1574.008); ranked at the 1th 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 AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Access enforcement applies authorization checks to the resolved resource, blocking access outside the intended sphere.

Information flow enforcement can constrain flows that result from an incorrectly resolved name or reference.

PR.AA-05 partial match
prevents

Enforced authorization boundaries limit damage from an incorrectly resolved reference.

PR.IR-01 partial match
prevents

Logical segmentation and access controls reduce the chance an out-of-sphere resolution succeeds.

PR.PS-01 partial match
prevents

Hardened configuration baselines can constrain allowable name-to-resource mappings.

PR.PS-06 partial match
prevents

Secure-development practices directly prevent incorrect name/reference resolution bugs during coding.

degrades

Network segmentation and routing policies reduce the chance that a mis-resolved name leads to an unintended external resource.

degrades

Segregated networks limit the blast radius when a name or reference resolves outside the intended control sphere.

prevents

Secure SDLC practices include design reviews that can catch incorrect name or reference handling before deployment.

prevents

Application security requirements can mandate validation of all external references and names used at runtime.

prevents

Secure architecture principles discourage reliance on ambient or globally-resolvable names without explicit scoping.

prevents

Secure-coding standards directly address canonicalization, input validation and safe name resolution, mitigating CWE-706.
