DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in Chrome for iOS in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Google Chrome for iOS before 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by enticing a user to visit a crafted HTML page and perform specific UI gestures, triggering a use-after-free condition. Google rates the underlying Chromium issue as High severity, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. The flaw requires user interaction, which somewhat reduces but does not eliminate real-world risk given Chrome's massive install base on iOS.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-416 (Use After Free), a memory corruption class where code accesses heap memory after it has been freed, often resulting in attacker-controlled function pointer dereferences or type confusion that can be steered into arbitrary code execution. Although iOS forces all third-party browsers to use Apple's WebKit rendering engine, Chrome for iOS ships substantial Chromium-derived browser-layer code (UI, navigation, IPC, profile, and feature subsystems) where this UAF resides, as evidenced by tracking under the Chromium issue tracker (issues.chromium.org/issues/507251069) and disclosure via chrome-cve-admin@google.com. Exploitation depends on triggering the dangling-pointer code path via a malicious page combined with a specific UI gesture sequence that releases an object still referenced by the engine.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome for iOS 149.0.7827.53 - upgrade affected installations to this build or later via the Apple App Store, as announced in Google's Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html). Because iOS auto-updates apps only when enabled, administrators of managed Apple fleets should push the updated Chrome version through MDM (e.g., Intune, Jamf) and verify the installed build. Until patching is complete, compensating controls include restricting Chrome use on iOS in favor of Safari for sensitive browsing, blocking known malicious domains at the network edge, and user-awareness messaging to avoid interacting with untrusted pages; note these are weak controls against a drive-by web exploit and do not substitute for the update.
