Network-delivered but requires an active remote-desktop session and shaping heap corruption into exploitation, so AC:H and UI:R; no privileges needed (PR:N) and memory corruption yields high C/I/A.
vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Chromoting in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via malicious network traffic. (Chromium security severity: Low)
AnalysisAI
Heap corruption in the Chromoting (Chrome Remote Desktop) component of Google Chrome before 150.0.7871.47 lets a remote attacker deliver malicious network traffic to a victim's active remote session, potentially corrupting heap memory and enabling arbitrary code execution in the browser process. All desktop Chrome installs using Chrome Remote Desktop below the fixed build are affected. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA SSVC records exploitation as none; EPSS is low at 0.16% (6th percentile), so this is a patch-during-normal-cycle item rather than an emergency.
Technical ContextAI
Chromoting is the internal codename for Chrome Remote Desktop, the network-based remote-access subsystem built into Chrome and Chromium. The flaw is classed as CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): the component insufficiently validates untrusted data arriving over the remote-desktop network channel, and that malformed input drives a heap corruption condition (out-of-bounds write or invalid allocation state on the heap). Because parsing/deserialization of session traffic happens inside a Chrome process, successful heap corruption can be steered toward memory-safety exploitation. The affected code path is only reachable when a Chrome Remote Desktop session is active and processing attacker-influenced traffic.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.47 or later on all desktop platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux) - this is the primary and complete fix. Trigger Chrome's built-in updater or push the new build via enterprise management, then relaunch the browser to apply it, and confirm the version in chrome://settings/help. Details are in the Chrome Stable channel advisory: https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html (issue https://issues.chromium.org/issues/513138148). As an interim compensating control until updates land, disable or uninstall Chrome Remote Desktop or restrict who may host or connect to remote sessions, since the vulnerable Chromoting code path is only exercised when a remote-desktop session is active; the trade-off is loss of remote-access functionality for legitimate users. Where remote desktop is required, limit connections to trusted peers and networks to reduce exposure to malicious traffic.
