Use after free in Browser in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 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 desktop versions prior to 150.0.7871.47 lets a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out of the sandbox and gain broader code execution on the host via a crafted HTML page. Chromium rates the underlying use-after-free as Critical, though there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.21%). A vendor patch is available and the flaw is a classic second-stage chain component rather than a standalone entry point.
Technical ContextAI
The defect is a CWE-416 use-after-free in Chrome's privileged Browser process (not the renderer), the component responsible for coordinating tabs, IPC, and access to OS resources on behalf of sandboxed renderers. Because the Browser process runs outside the renderer sandbox, memory corruption there can be leveraged to escape the sandbox boundary that normally confines untrusted web content. The affected component is Google Chrome (CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) across desktop channels below 150.0.7871.47; use-after-free arises when a freed object is subsequently referenced, allowing an attacker with a controlled renderer to manipulate object lifetimes and steer freed-memory reuse toward attacker-controlled execution.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.47 or later on all desktop platforms, as announced in the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html); Chrome auto-update normally delivers this, so verify via chrome://settings/help and relaunch to apply. Enterprises managing Chrome via policy should push the updated version through their management channel and confirm the reported version is at or above 150.0.7871.47. If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure to the renderer-compromise prerequisite by enabling stricter site isolation (already default), restricting untrusted browsing, and deploying enhanced safe browsing to lower the odds of the first-stage renderer exploit - with the trade-off that these controls mitigate the delivery chain rather than the underlying use-after-free itself. Users of Chromium-based browsers should apply the equivalent vendor build once it incorporates the fix.
