AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of untrusted input in the ANGLE component of Google Chrome on macOS. A remotely crafted HTML page can be used by an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the Chrome sandbox. The flaw carries a CVSS score of 8.8, indicating high severity, and is categorized as a potential remote code execution that can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted system.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome versions prior to 147.0.7727.55 on macOS are affected. Users of older stable channel releases are susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

With an EPSS score below 1 % and no listing in the CISA KEV catalog, the likelihood of widespread exploitation is low at present. The attack vector is inferred to be remote, requiring a user to load a maliciously crafted HTML page in Chrome. The attacker must have the ability to deliver or host the page for the victim to open, which raises the overall risk to systems that regularly load untrusted web content.
