Remote network-triggered use-after-free needing no auth or interaction (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N) but a hard-to-win memory race (AC:H); RCE yields total C/I/A impact.

Use after free in Chromoting in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via malicious network traffic. (Chromium security severity: Critical)
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Google Chrome's Chromoting (Chrome Remote Desktop) component on Windows affects all desktop builds prior to 150.0.7871.47, where a use-after-free (CWE-416) lets a remote attacker corrupt memory via malicious network traffic. Google rates the Chromium severity Critical, and a vendor patch is available, but there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low at 0.24%. High attack complexity (AC:H) means the memory-corruption race is non-trivial to win reliably, tempering the CVSS 8.1 score.
Technical ContextAI
Chromoting is the internal Chromium codename for the Chrome Remote Desktop subsystem, which brokers remote screen-sharing and input over a network transport. The flaw is a use-after-free (CWE-416): the code frees a heap object but retains and later dereferences a dangling pointer, allowing an attacker who controls the timing/content of network traffic to reclaim the freed allocation with attacker-influenced data and steer execution. The single affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome (all versions before the fix), and because Chromoting runs inside the Chrome renderer/host process, successful exploitation yields code execution in that context on Windows specifically.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 150.0.7871.47 - update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.47 or later on Windows via the built-in updater (chrome://settings/help) and relaunch to apply, or push the update through enterprise management. Confirm the fix per the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. If patching cannot be immediate, reduce exposure of the vulnerable component by disabling or uninstalling the Chrome Remote Desktop host/extension and restricting inbound remote-desktop connectivity to Chrome hosts; the trade-off is loss of remote-access functionality for users who rely on it. Because the attack vector is network traffic to the Chromoting component, limiting who can initiate remote-desktop sessions (network ACLs, trusted peers only) lowers risk until the browser is updated.
