AI Analysis

Impact

Chromium contains an integer overflow flaw in its Skia graphics library that can be triggered by a crafted HTML page. The overflow, classified as CWE‑190 and CWE‑472, allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to execute arbitrary code within the sandboxing limits of Chrome.

Affected Systems

All desktop installations of Google Chrome using a version earlier than 148.0.7778.216 are vulnerable. This includes any user running the affected browser on Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability is rated high with a CVSS score of 7.5. The EPSS score is less than 1%, indicating a low probability of exploitation at present. The flaw is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, so no known exploitation has been reported. Exploitation requires the attacker to deliver a malicious web page that triggers the overflow, after which the renderer process is compromised and arbitrary code can run inside the sandbox.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Chrome to version 148.0.7778.216 or later, which contains the Skia integer overflow fix
  • Ensure that Chrome’s auto‑update feature is enabled so that future security patches are applied automatically
  • Restrict untrusted HTML content or use content security policies to reduce exposure to renderer‑based attacks
