AI Analysis

Impact

Use-After-Free error in the Fullscreen feature of Google Chrome allows a remote attacker to craft a malicious HTML page that triggers a memory access after the object has been freed. If the vulnerability is successfully exploited, the attacker can execute arbitrary code outside the normal sandbox protecting the browser, potentially gaining full control of the victim’s system. The flaw is a classic use‑after‑free, identified as CWE‑416.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome versions preceding 154.0.8037.57 are affected. The issue applies to all operating systems and builds of the Chrome stable channel that use the earlier code until the security update is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 9.6, indicating a very high severity. No EPSS score is publicly available, and the flaw is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the combination of remote trigger and sandbox escape indicates a high risk for attackers. The likely attack vector is a remote attacker delivering a crafted HTML page that the victim opens locally or visits in the browser, exploiting the issue without requiring elevated privileges.

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 154.0.8037.57 or later as released by Google.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, disable Chrome’s fullscreen capability by launching the browser with the flag --disable-features=Fullscreen or by applying enterprise policies that restrict fullscreen usage until the patch is installed.
  • Maintain strict content‑security policy and block potentially malicious sites from loading fullscreen content until the vulnerability is patched.
