AI Analysis

Impact

A use‑after‑free bug in the Views component of Google Chrome on macOS allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by serving a specially crafted HTML page. The flaw is a classic off‑by‑one memory misuse (CWE-416) that can overwrite program data after free. If exploited, the attacker can run code with the privileges of the Chrome process, potentially escalating to full system compromise.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome versions earlier than 149.0.7827.103 running on macOS are vulnerable. The impact is limited to the user running the affected Chrome instance. No other operating systems or desktop branches are mentioned.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a High severity, although EPSS data is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers would need to lure the victim to a malicious web page that contains the crafted HTML, a realistic scenario for phishing or malicious advertising campaigns. Once the exploit is triggered, any code can be executed within the Chrome process.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.103 or later.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, configure the browser or use an extension to block execution of untrusted scripts on pages that could trigger the flaw, such as by enforcing a strict content‑security policy or applying a reliable ad‑blocker.
  • Enable Chrome’s Safe Browsing feature to reduce the likelihood that malicious sites are visited.
