AI Analysis

Impact

A use‑after‑free flaw in Skia, Chrome’s 2D graphics engine, can corrupt memory when rendering a maliciously crafted HTML page. Exploitation could break the renderer sandbox, allowing an attacker to run code with higher privileges on the host. The weakness is CWE‑416 and is classified as a potential remote code execution via sandbox escape.

Affected Systems

Chrome versions older than 150.0.7871.46 on all supported operating systems are affected. Any machine running an unpatched version of Chrome is vulnerable until it receives the latest stable channel update.

Risk and Exploitability

The issue carries a CVSS score of 9.6 and an EPSS score of less than 1%, indicating a very low but real chance of active exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog. The most likely attack path is a crafted HTML page delivered over the Internet; a user who opens such a page with the vulnerable browser could lose sandbox protection and execute arbitrary code.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the Chrome update to version 150.0.7871.46 or later to fix the Skia use‑after‑free issue
  • Enable automatic updates in Chrome so that future security patches are applied without manual intervention
  • Remove or block older Chrome versions from the system through group policy to prevent accidental use of vulnerable releases
