Remote crafted page (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N) needs the victim to load it (UI:R); code runs in the renderer sandbox without scope change (S:U), with high C/I/A within that process.

DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in IME in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Renderer-process remote code execution in Google Chrome desktop before 150.0.7871.47 stems from a use-after-free in the Input Method Editor (IME) component, letting a remote attacker run arbitrary code within the browser's sandbox when a victim visits a crafted HTML page. Rated High by Chromium and CVSS 8.8, it requires user interaction (visiting a page) but no authentication. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score is low (0.26%, 17th percentile), indicating no evidence of widespread exploitation yet.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw is a CWE-416 use-after-free in Chrome's IME subsystem, the component that mediates composed text input (used heavily for CJK and other complex-script entry) between the OS input framework and the renderer. In a use-after-free, code retains and dereferences a pointer to heap memory that has already been freed, allowing an attacker who controls subsequent heap allocations to groom the freed region and hijack control flow. Per the EUVD/NVD data the affected code is in the Chromium renderer, and the description explicitly notes execution occurs 'inside a sandbox,' meaning code runs in the constrained renderer process rather than at OS privilege - a further sandbox-escape bug would be needed for full host compromise. The Chromium issue tracker entry (issues.chromium.org/issues/506149253) is access-restricted per Google's standard embargo policy.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.47 or later on all desktop platforms, as announced in the Chrome Releases stable channel update (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html); Chrome typically auto-updates, so verify via chrome://settings/help and relaunch to apply the pending update, and confirm managed/enterprise fleets are not pinning an older build. There is no separate configuration workaround for this memory-corruption bug, so patching is the only reliable fix. As an interim compensating control before the update lands, restrict exposure to untrusted web content - for example enforce enterprise policies that keep the site-isolation/sandbox protections enabled and, for high-risk users, limit browsing to trusted sites; note these controls reduce but do not eliminate risk and can disrupt normal browsing, so they are stopgaps only. Users on unsupported/EOL platforms that no longer receive the patched build should migrate to a supported OS or an updated Chromium-based browser.
