AI Analysis

Impact

A use‑after‑free flaw in Google Chrome’s Input component (CWE‑416) causes a memory management error that lets a remote attacker craft a malicious HTML page to trigger the browser into executing arbitrary code within the sandboxed process. The flaw provides only sandboxed execution and does not necessarily allow escape of the browser environment.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome browsers with revisions earlier than 150.0.7871.115 are vulnerable. All installations running a version older than that snapshot are affected until patched.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 8.8, indicating a high impact. The EPSS score is below 1%, suggesting a low likelihood of active exploitation at this time, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be a remote crafted HTML page that the victim must open or load over the network, leading to execution within the browser’s sandbox.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Chrome to version 150.0.7871.115 or later so the use‑after‑free fix is applied.
  • Enable automatic updates for Chrome or schedule a manual update as soon as the new version becomes available.
  • If an update cannot be performed immediately, consider disabling or restricting access to the Chrome browser until the patch is installed.
