AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a use‑after‑free flaw in the WebRTC component of Google Chrome. It allows a remote attacker to construct a malicious HTML page that triggers the flaw and results in execution of arbitrary code. The flaw falls under CWE‑416 (Use After Free) and CWE‑825 (Resource Hijacking).

Affected Systems

Google Chrome desktop browsers running versions earlier than 149.0.7827.53 are affected. Any user running a vulnerable Chrome instance could be targeted by a malicious webpage.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability is classified as high severity. The EPSS score of <1% indicates a very low probability of exploitation, and the issue is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a crafted web page visited in the browser; because the execution occurs within the Chrome sandbox the impact is limited to the sandbox, but it still permits arbitrary code execution that can compromise the underlying system if privilege escalation is achieved.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.53 or later.
  • Ensure that Chrome’s automatic update mechanism is enabled so that the patch is applied promptly.
  • If an immediate upgrade cannot be performed, disable or restrict WebRTC by configuring the Chromium policy setting "WebRTC" to false or using the chrome://flags interface to block WebRTC functionality until the security update is available.
