AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Local malicious-file vector with required user interaction (AV:L/UI:R), no prior privileges (PR:N), and a sandbox escape crossing a trust boundary yields scope change with high C/I/A.
Primary rating from Vendor (Chrome).

Use after free in Views in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a local attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a malicious file. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome desktop before 151.0.7922.72 stems from a use-after-free in the Views UI framework, letting a local attacker who lures a user into opening a malicious file break out of the renderer sandbox with high-severity impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV; SSVC records exploitation as none, and the EPSS score is very low (0.18%, 7th percentile). …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires local delivery of a malicious file and user interaction to open/process it in Google Chrome (AV:L, UI:R in the CVSS vector), so it is not remotely exploitable without user action. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals here are mixed and lean toward lower real-world urgency despite the 8.6 CVSS. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious file and social-engineers a local user into opening it in Chrome; processing the file triggers the use-after-free in Views, corrupting browser-process memory to escape the renderer sandbox and gain code execution at the browser process's privilege level. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and the local vector plus required user interaction make this a targeted rather than mass-exploitation scenario. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later on all desktop platforms; Chrome typically auto-updates, so ensure the browser is fully closed and relaunched to apply the update, and verify the version via chrome://settings/help. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, scan your organization for Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 and create a deployment plan prioritizing systems with elevated access or sensitive data handling. …
