Network-delivered via crafted page (AV:N) but requires a specific user gesture (UI:R) and a hard-to-win UAF race (AC:H), unauthenticated (PR:N), yielding full code-execution impact (C/I/A:H).

Use after free in Views in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Google Chrome (Views UI component) prior to 150.0.7871.47 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page and inducing specific UI gestures that trigger a use-after-free. Rated High by Chromium and CVSS 7.5, the flaw is elevated in complexity by its requirement for user interaction, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; EPSS probability is low at 0.26%.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a use-after-free (CWE-416) in Chrome's Views framework, the cross-platform C++ UI toolkit that Chromium uses to render browser chrome and native widgets (menus, dialogs, tabs, toolbars). A use-after-free occurs when memory is freed but a dangling pointer is subsequently dereferenced, allowing an attacker to reclaim that memory with attacker-controlled data and corrupt program state. Because Views manages complex object lifetimes tied to user-driven UI events, a crafted page combined with specific gestures can free a Views object while a reference remains live. The affected CPE is Google Chrome desktop builds prior to 150.0.7871.47 across platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux) served through the Stable channel.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.47 or later via the Stable channel; on most deployments Chrome auto-updates, so ensure the browser is fully relaunched to apply the fix, and verify the version under chrome://settings/help. Enterprises managing Chrome via policy should push the updated build and confirm rollout, per the Chrome release advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html). Users of Chromium-based browsers should apply their vendor's equivalent update once available. There is no clean feature-level workaround since Views is core to the UI; as an interim compensating control, keep Site Isolation enabled (default) and reduce exposure by cautioning users against interacting with untrusted pages, though this does not eliminate the risk and only patching does.
