Remote crafted page needs a victim visit (UI:R) and no privileges (PR:N); impact is high but sandbox-confined so scope stays Unchanged (S:U).

Use after free in DOM 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
Arbitrary code execution in Google Chrome's DOM implementation lets a remote attacker run code within the renderer sandbox by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page. All desktop Chrome builds before 150.0.7871.47 are affected; Chromium rates the flaw High severity. No public exploit has been identified and EPSS probability is low (0.26%), but the vendor patch is already available and should be applied promptly.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a use-after-free (CWE-416) in Chrome's Document Object Model (DOM) engine - the component in the Blink rendering engine that parses HTML and maintains the live in-memory tree of page objects. A use-after-free occurs when the code frees a heap object but retains and later dereferences a dangling pointer to it; an attacker who controls page content can groom the heap to reallocate that freed slot with attacker-influenced data, corrupting memory and steering control flow. Because DOM manipulation is driven directly by page JavaScript/HTML, this class of bug is a recurring source of remote memory-corruption exploits in browsers. The affected code path executes inside Chrome's multi-process renderer sandbox.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.47 or later on all desktop platforms, per the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html); most installations update automatically, but verify via chrome://settings/help and relaunch to apply, since the fix is inert until restart. In managed fleets, push the updated version through your enterprise management/MDM tooling and confirm minimum-version policies. Users of Chromium-based browsers should apply their vendor's corresponding update once released. As an interim compensating control before patching, restrict exposure to untrusted web content - enabling Chrome's Enhanced Safe Browsing reduces risk of malicious-page delivery, and site isolation (default in Chrome) already constrains a compromised renderer; note these reduce but do not eliminate exposure to a crafted page, so patching remains the only complete fix.
