Impact

A use‑after‑free bug in Chrome’s PDF rendering component memory corruption by opening a specially crafted PDF file, leading to arbitrary code execution inside Chrome’s sandboxed processes. The weakness is classified as CWE‑416, representing a flaw in memory handling that can be leveraged to bypass safety checks.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome versions released before 150.0.7871.47 are vulnerable to this flaw; any version 150.0.7871.47 or newer contains the fix applied by the Chrome team.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates high severity. The EPSS score of <1% suggests that exploitation is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker would need to deliver a malicious PDF—most likely via a malicious attachment in an e‑mail or a compromised website—to exploit the use‑after‑free condition.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or later to apply the PDFium fix.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, disable PDFium parsing through Chrome policies or settings to block PDF rendering.
  • Maintain operating‑system and Chrome sandboxing features to contain any accidental privilege escalation attempts.
  • Check the Chromium project website or Chrome release notes regularly for updates or additional mitigations.
