Use after free in Autofill 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 Autofill component prior to version 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 (CWE-416) requiring user interaction (UI:R) and a chained renderer compromise, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis despite the very high 9.6 CVSS score driven by scope change.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in Chrome's Autofill subsystem, which handles form field suggestions and data persistence across the browser process and renderer. Per CWE-416, a use-after-free occurs when memory is referenced after being freed, allowing an attacker controlling the freed object's contents to corrupt control flow or data structures. Because Autofill code runs partially in the privileged browser process, exploitation from a compromised renderer can pivot across the sandbox boundary - explaining the Scope:Changed (S:C) component of the CVSS vector. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all Chrome distributions prior to the fixed build.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.53 - update via the stable channel update referenced at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html and tracked at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/494740162. Enterprise administrators should push the update through Google Update, Chrome Browser Cloud Management, or their managed software distribution system and confirm the in-browser About Chrome version reads 149.0.7827.53 or higher. As a compensating control until patching, disable Autofill via enterprise policy (AutofillAddressEnabled=false, AutofillCreditCardEnabled=false, PasswordManagerEnabled scope as appropriate) - trade-off is loss of user productivity for stored form data. For downstream Chromium browsers, monitor the respective vendor channels (Edge, Brave, Opera) for rebased builds and apply when available.
