8.8 HIGH

Remote crafted page needs no privileges but requires the victim to open it (UI:R); memory-corruption RCE gives high C/I/A, but execution stays within the renderer sandbox so scope is unchanged.

DescriptionCVE.org

Integer overflow in libxml in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Google Chrome desktop versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 lets a remote attacker run arbitrary code within the browser's renderer sandbox by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page that triggers an integer overflow in the bundled libxml component. Google rated the flaw High severity and a vendor patch is available; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the low EPSS score (0.35%) alongside CISA SSVC 'Exploitation: none' indicates no observed exploitation yet. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to open an attacker-crafted HTML page in an unpatched Chrome (before 151.0.7922.72) - this user interaction (UI:R in the CVSS vector) is the primary limiting factor, so there is no drive-by/zero-click path from the available data. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 8.8) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated bug that requires user interaction (visiting a page) and does not change scope. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts or compromises a web page containing malformed markup engineered to trigger the libxml integer overflow, then drives victims to it via phishing, malvertising, or a watering-hole link. When the target opens the page in an unpatched Chrome, the overflow corrupts renderer memory and executes attacker code inside the sandbox, typically as a first stage to be chained with a sandbox-escape for full host control. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Stable channel; on managed fleets, force the browser update and relaunch to ensure the running process picks up the new binary, since Chrome's background updater stages the fix but only applies it on restart. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, issue a security bulletin to all users communicating the availability of Chrome version 151.0.7922.72 or later and the importance of immediate installation. …
