Out of bounds read in Codecs in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds read in Google Chrome's Codecs component (prior to 150.0.7871.47) enables remote attackers to leak sensitive data from renderer process memory by delivering a crafted HTML page. The CVSS C:H rating reflects meaningful exposure of in-process data such as session tokens or credentials, though Chromium's own team assessed this as Medium severity, and the sandbox boundary (S:U) limits blast radius to the renderer. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in Chrome's Codecs subsystem - the component responsible for decoding audio and video media streams embedded in or referenced by HTML pages. CWE-125 (Out-of-Bounds Read) indicates that during parsing of malformed media bitstream or container data, insufficient bounds validation causes the decoder to read memory beyond its allocated buffer, exposing adjacent process memory contents. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N confirms network delivery with low attack complexity, no privilege requirement, but mandatory user interaction. Scope is Unchanged, meaning exploitation is constrained to the Chrome renderer sandbox rather than the underlying OS. All desktop Chrome versions prior to 150.0.7871.47 on Windows, macOS, and Linux are affected per EUVD-2026-40592.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or later using the stable channel update documented at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. Chrome's auto-update mechanism will deploy this for most users, but enterprise administrators should verify compliance across managed endpoints using fleet management tools. Where immediate patching is not feasible, restrict user access to untrusted or external web content through a web proxy allowlist - note this impairs general browsing. Disabling media playback in Chrome via enterprise policy (AudioCaptureAllowed, VideoCaptureAllowed) may reduce attack surface but breaks legitimate media functionality. No workaround fully mitigates the flaw without patching.
