Analysis

Impact

A free flaw in the V8 engine of Google Chrome allows a remote attacker to craft a malicious HTML page that, when a user performs specific UI gestures, forces the browser to read freed memory and execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox. The issue is identified as CWE-416 and is judged high severity by Chromium’s security team.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability is triggered when a user visits a crafted web page that induces the required gesture interactions in Google Chrome versions prior to 150.0.7871.46.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw requires user interaction; social engineering can make this feasible. The likely attack vector is a malicious web page that induces the required gesture interactions, and this inference follows from the description that a remote attacker can convince a user to engage in specific UI gestures. The CVSS score is 7.5, the EPSS score is less than 1%, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Organizations should consider the risk significant if users are exposed to malicious sites containing the flaw.

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

Update Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.46 or newer, which removes the use‑after‑free bug in V8.
Configure managed Chrome deployments to enforce the strict sandbox policy, ensuring untrusted script execution is confined within the sandbox.
Provide user education that highlights the dangers of interacting with web pages that prompt unusual input, reducing the likelihood that the attacker can trigger the flaw.
