Use after free in Guest View 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's Guest View component prior to version 149.0.7827.103 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code within the renderer sandbox by luring users to a crafted HTML page. The flaw is a use-after-free memory corruption issue rated High severity by Chromium with a CVSS of 8.8, and while no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, Google has shipped a patched stable channel build. Exploitation requires user interaction (visiting a malicious page) and code execution is confined to the sandbox, meaning a sandbox escape would be needed for full host compromise.
Technical ContextAI
Guest View is the Chromium subsystem that hosts embedded out-of-process content such as <webview> tags used by Chrome Apps and extensions, MimeHandlerView, and other guest frame types. CWE-416 (Use After Free) describes a class of memory safety defects where freed heap memory is dereferenced through a dangling pointer, frequently leading to controlled writes, type confusion, or function pointer hijack - well-understood primitives that browser exploit developers chain into arbitrary read/write and ultimately code execution in the renderer process. The affected codebase is Chromium-based, so downstream browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Electron, CEF embedders) built from pre-149.0.7827.103 sources are likely impacted until they take the upstream fix.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.103 on the stable desktop channel - install immediately via Chrome's built-in updater (chrome://settings/help) or push the update through enterprise management (Group Policy, Jamf, Intune) per Google's advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0153744567.html. For Chromium-based browsers and Electron applications, monitor your vendor for a downstream release that incorporates the fix, tracked upstream at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/516910450. If patching must be delayed, compensating controls include disabling or restricting use of <webview> and guest view-dependent extensions/apps via the ExtensionInstallBlocklist enterprise policy (side effect: breaks legitimate apps that rely on webview), enforcing site isolation (already default), and steering high-risk users to an alternative non-Chromium browser temporarily (side effect: workflow disruption and lost extension compatibility).
