DescriptionNVD

Use after free in Glic in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome's Glic component prior to 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page. The flaw is a use-after-free memory corruption issue (CWE-416) requiring user interaction and a chained renderer compromise; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is very low at 0.03%.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in Glic, a component within Chromium's multi-process architecture, and is classified as CWE-416 (Use After Free) - a memory corruption class where freed heap memory is referenced again, enabling attacker-controlled data to be interpreted as valid object state. Per the CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*), all Chrome desktop builds before 149.0.7827.53 are affected. Because the CVSS scope is Changed (S:C) and impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability at High, successful exploitation lets attacker code in the constrained renderer process cross the sandbox trust boundary into the more privileged browser process, which has broader OS access.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor-released patch by upgrading Google Chrome to 149.0.7827.53 or later on all desktop platforms; Chrome's default auto-update will deliver this via the Stable channel update referenced at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html, but managed enterprise fleets should verify rollout through their update policy (Group Policy/MDM) and force a restart since pending updates do not take effect until the browser is relaunched. Downstream Chromium-based browsers should be updated once their vendors ship the corresponding fix. As compensating controls while patching is in flight, restrict user browsing to trusted sites via enterprise URL allowlists, enable site isolation (on by default but verify chrome://flags has not been altered), and consider deploying browser-based attack-surface reduction such as disabling unneeded experimental features - these reduce the odds of the prerequisite renderer compromise but at the cost of breaking some web apps and developer workflows.
