AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw is a use‑the InterestGroups component of Google Chrome. An attacker can craft a malicious HTML page that triggers the freed memory access, allowing arbitrary code execution inside the browser’s sandbox with the privileges of that process.

Affected Systems

Based on the description, it is inferred that Google Chrome browsers prior to version 150.0.7871.115 are affected across all operating systems supported by Chrome—Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS—because the same Chromium code path is used on each platform.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a very low exploitation probability in the wild, and it is not listed in the KEV catalog. Exploitation requires a user to visit a maliciously crafted web page; it is inferred that the attack vector is the web content channel. Once triggered, the attacker gains sandboxed code execution.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.115 or newer, which contains the patchs the InterestGroups handling logic.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, disable the InterestGroups feature via policy settings or by enabling the appropriate flag at chrome://flags to prevent the vulnerable code from executing.
  • Block or monitor access to potentially malicious web pages that could supply the crafted content, and maintain up‑to‑date host‑based and network defenses to reduce the likelihood of a user visiting such pages.
