Impact

In Google Chrome, a buffer overflow occurs in the Video component, allowing a remote attacker to exploit a crafted HTML page and potentially execute arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 9.6, indicating a severe threat that can compromise system confidentiality, integrity, or availability.

Affected Systems

All users of Google Chrome stable channel versions earlier than 154.0.8037.57 are affected. The advisory does not specify operating systems; it is inferred that the vulnerability may impact all platforms that Chrome supports (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS).

Risk and Exploitability

High CVSS score reflects a significant attack surface; an attacker can trigger the overflow by serving a malicious web page that leverages the Video element. With no known exploits listed in the CISA KEV catalog and an unavailable EPSS score, the risk remains high but exact exploitation likelihood is uncertain. Prompt application of the vendor fix is essential to prevent potential code execution.
