Impact

Google Chrome for Android contains a use‑after‑free that can be triggered by a crafted HTML page to execute arbitrary code within the sandbox, giving the attacker control of code execution only inside the sandbox. The vulnerability is classified as CWE‑416: Use‑After‑Free.

Affected Systems

Android devices running Chrome versions earlier than 150.0.7871.47 are affected. The flaw resides in the WebView part of the Chrome application.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by providing a crafted HTML page that a user opens or that a WebView loads. The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a high severity, while the EPSS score of < 1% suggests a very low exploitation probability at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. No additional prerequisites beyond a crafted HTML page are required for exploitation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the Chrome update to version 150.0.7871.47 or later on all Android devices to eliminate the use‑after‑free flaw in WebView.
  • Restrict WebView to only load content from trusted origins, blocking malicious pages from being displayed.
  • If an immediate patch is not available, disable or limit WebView usage for untrusted content, for example by removing JavaScript execution or applying a secure profile that blocks external inputs until the update is applied.
