Integer overflow in WTF in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.216 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Sandboxed arbitrary code execution in Google Chrome versions prior to 148.0.7778.216 stems from an integer overflow in the WTF (Web Template Framework) component, exploitable when a victim visits a crafted HTML page. The flaw carries a CVSS 8.8 (High) rating and Chromium-assigned High severity, requires user interaction (UI:R) to load the malicious page, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. While code execution is constrained to the renderer sandbox, this remains a strong primitive for chaining with sandbox escapes in real-world exploit kits.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in WTF (Web Template Framework), a foundational C++ utility library inside Blink/Chromium that provides core data structures, string handling, and numeric primitives used throughout the renderer process. CWE-472 (External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter) is the assigned weakness class, though the description specifically points to an integer overflow - a numeric truncation or wraparound condition where arithmetic on attacker-influenced sizes/indices produces an undersized allocation or out-of-bounds access, frequently leading to memory corruption and code execution in the renderer. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* across versions below 148.0.7778.216 on desktop platforms, with the fix shipped via the Chrome Stable channel update referenced in the Chrome Releases blog.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Google Chrome to 148.0.7778.216 or later on all desktop platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux) per the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0877304591.html; most installs will receive this automatically via Chrome's update mechanism but should be force-checked via chrome://settings/help and verified by inventory. For Chromium-based browsers, apply the corresponding vendor build that incorporates the upstream WTF fix once published. Where immediate patching is not possible, compensating controls include enforcing Site Isolation (enabled by default in modern Chrome - verify via chrome://flags) to keep cross-origin renderers in separate processes, restricting Chrome to known-good sites via enterprise URL allowlists (trade-off: breaks general browsing), and ensuring strict OS-level sandboxing remains intact (no --no-sandbox flag, no disabled seccomp), since the bug yields renderer-bound code execution that depends on a separate sandbox escape to be fully weaponized.
