Use after free in Aura in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 149.0.7827.103 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome on Windows versions prior to 149.0.7827.103 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page exploiting a use-after-free in the Aura UI framework. Google rates the underlying Chromium issue as Critical severity, though exploitation requires a prior renderer compromise and user interaction (visiting a malicious page). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three concrete prerequisites that must all hold: (1) the target must be running Google Chrome on Windows at a version prior to 149.0.7827.103 - Aura on other platforms and other browser engines are out of scope of this CVE; (2) the attacker must already have arbitrary code execution inside Chrome's sandboxed renderer process, typically obtained by chaining a separate renderer-side vulnerability such as a V8 or Blink bug, since the Aura code path is not reachable from untrusted web content directly; and (3) the victim must perform user interaction by navigating to or rendering a crafted HTML page (UI:R in the CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a chained-exploit primitive rather than a standalone RCE: the CVSS 8.3 score reflects AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, but the High attack complexity and the description's explicit prerequisite of a 'compromised renderer process' mean an attacker must already hold a renderer RCE (typically a separate V8 or Blink bug) before this issue becomes useful. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker first lures a target to a malicious or compromised website that delivers a renderer-process exploit (for example, a V8 type confusion) to gain code execution inside the sandboxed renderer. From there the attacker's payload sends crafted IPC messages or DOM/UI events that drive the browser-process Aura code into the use-after-free state, then sprays the freed allocation to gain control of the dangling pointer's referent, achieving code execution in the unsandboxed browser process and full escape onto the Windows host. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome on Windows to the vendor-released patch version 149.0.7827.103 or later via the Stable channel (advisory: https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0153744567.html); Chrome's auto-updater will deliver this on next browser restart, so enterprise admins should force a relaunch rather than rely on user behavior. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all Windows systems running Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.103 using asset inventory or endpoint detection tools. …
