Impact

A use‑after‑free bug in Chrome’s IndexedDB implementation allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside the browser sandbox by loading a crafted HTML page. The flaw is a memory corruption weakness (CWE‑416). The vulnerability is rated with a CVSS score of 8.8, indicating high severity.

Affected Systems

This issue affects Google Chrome versions prior to 150.0.7871.115 on all operating systems that support IndexedDB. Any machine running one of those versions of Chrome is vulnerable if a malicious web page is displayed in the browser. The bug originates in the Chromium codebase responsible for handling IndexedDB storage and is triggered by an attacker’s crafted HTML content.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is below 1%, indicating low expected exploitation likelihood. The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates high severity. Attackers must serve a malicious HTML page that a user visits; the exploitation requires user interaction and a network‑based vector. Once the crafted page loads, the use‑after‑free condition can cause arbitrary code to run inside the browser sandbox. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The risk is limited to the sandboxed environment, but could potentially affect data or functionality within the browser context.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade all Chrome installations to version 150.0.7871.115 or newer.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, configure the Chrome Enterprise policy to disable IndexedDB for untrusted or insecure sites until the fix is applied.
  • Keep the Chrome auto‑update feature enabled and monitor for future security releases, applying them as soon as they become available.
