Use after free in ViewTransitions in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.103 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Google Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.103 stems from a use-after-free condition in the ViewTransitions component, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code within the browser's renderer sandbox by serving a crafted HTML page. Google rates the Chromium security severity as High and a vendor patch is available, though no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to load attacker-controlled HTML in a vulnerable Chrome build (prior to 149.0.7827.103) that exercises the ViewTransitions API, so user interaction (navigating to or being redirected to the malicious page) is mandatory per the CVSS UI:R metric. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H produces an 8.8 score driven by network reach, low complexity, no privileges, and full CIA impact, tempered by required user interaction (visiting a malicious page) and unchanged scope (sandbox-confined). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a malicious page that uses the ViewTransitions API to trigger the use-after-free, then lures a Chrome user to visit it via phishing email, a malvertising chain, or a watering-hole compromise on a trusted site. When the victim's browser parses the page and initiates the transition, the freed object is reclaimed with attacker-controlled data, yielding arbitrary code execution inside the renderer sandbox; the attacker would then need a separate sandbox-escape bug to pivot to the host. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.103 (Stable channel); upgrade all desktop installations to this version or later by triggering Help > About Google Chrome and relaunching, or by pushing the update through your endpoint management system, per https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0153744567.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
