Integer overflow in CredentialProvider in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to perform OS-level privilege escalation via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the sandbox via an integer overflow in the CredentialProvider component. Exploitation requires user interaction with a crafted HTML page and a prior renderer compromise, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. Chromium rates the security severity as Medium despite the CVSS 7.5 score.
Technical ContextAI
The flaw resides in Chrome's CredentialProvider integration on Windows, which interfaces with the OS-level Windows Credential Provider framework used for authentication UI and identity brokering. CWE-472 (External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter) combined with an integer overflow indicates that a size or length value used in credential-related processing can wrap around, producing inconsistent state that the trusted browser process then acts upon. Because the CredentialProvider runs outside the renderer sandbox and interacts with OS authentication primitives, a successful overflow lets renderer-confined code reach into higher-privileged Windows contexts, enabling a classic sandbox-escape-to-OS-privilege-escalation chain.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.53 for Windows - upgrade immediately via Chrome's built-in updater or by forcing an update through enterprise management (Google Update / Chrome Browser Cloud Management), then restart the browser to load the new binaries. Enterprise admins managing fleets should verify rollout through the RelaunchNotification and RelaunchWindow policies to ensure users actually restart. Until patching completes, compensating controls include enforcing Microsoft Defender Application Guard or running Chrome under a restricted Windows user account to limit the impact of a successful OS privilege escalation, and tightening Site Isolation and JIT-less mode (--js-flags=--jitless) to raise the cost of the prerequisite renderer compromise; both carry performance penalties and may break some web apps. Track downstream Chromium browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi) and apply their corresponding updates as they ship.
