DescriptionCVE.org

Uninitialized Use in Video in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 149.0.7827.103 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Uninitialized memory use in the Video component of Google Chrome on Windows (prior to 149.0.7827.103) allows an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to read potentially sensitive data from process memory by directing the victim to a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability is Windows-specific, rated High severity by Chromium's internal scale, and carries a CVSS 5.3 due to the high attack complexity and required user interaction stacking atop the renderer-compromise prerequisite. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Exploit separate renderer RCE vulnerability
Delivery

Direct victim to crafted HTML page with malicious video
Execution
Trigger uninitialized memory read in Video component
Persist
Extract process memory contents
Impact
Use leaked data (addresses, secrets) to enable further exploitation

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Two stacked prerequisites are required. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 5.3 score (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) accurately reflects a moderate-priority issue constrained by significant real-world barriers. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has separately achieved renderer process compromise - for example via an unpatched renderer RCE - serves a crafted HTML page containing malicious video content to a Windows target. The Video component reads from uninitialized memory, and the attacker extracts the resulting data to recover heap addresses, stack canaries, or in-memory secrets, using that information to defeat ASLR or locate sensitive data before chaining to a privilege escalation. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome on Windows to version 149.0.7827.103 or later - this is the vendor-released patch confirmed by both the Google Stable Channel advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0153744567.html) and EUVD-2026-35222. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
