Impact

A use‑after‑free flaw in Chrome’s Views component allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox by delivering a specially crafted HTML page. The vulnerability can be triggered remotely when a user loads malicious content, thereby compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The weakness corresponds to CWE‑416 (Use After Free).

Affected Systems

All versions of Google Chrome running before 154.0.8037.92 on desktop platforms are affected. The fix is included in the 154.0.8037.92 release and later.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.6 marks the flaw as critical. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no confirmed exploitation yet. The likely attack vector is remote via a crafted HTML payload that the victim must open, making the threat primarily social‑engineering based. Successful exploitation would allow code execution with elevated privileges beyond the browser sandbox.
