Remote and unauthenticated but requires the victim to load crafted media (UI:R) and reliable sandbox escape is nontrivial (AC:H); sandbox escape justifies scope change (S:C).
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.

Integer overflow in Codecs in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted video file. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome's media codec handling affects all Chrome desktop builds prior to 151.0.7922.72, where an integer overflow while parsing a maliciously crafted video file can let a remote attacker break out of the renderer sandbox. Exploitation requires the victim to load attacker-controlled media (UI:R), and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low (0.17%, 6th percentile) and the flaw is not on CISA KEV. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the victim to load an attacker-crafted video file in a vulnerable Chrome build (before 151.0.7922.72) so that the malformed stream reaches the Codecs parser - this user-interaction requirement (UI:R) is the primary limiting factor. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals conflict and must be weighed carefully. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker hosts a web page or delivers a file containing a specially crafted video that overflows an integer during codec parsing; when the victim visits the page or opens the media in Chrome, the corruption is used to attempt escape from the renderer sandbox and run code with broader privileges. The attack is remote and low-complexity but hinges on user interaction (loading the media), and no public exploit code is currently identified. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later on all desktop platforms, per the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html); most installs will receive this automatically, so verify auto-update is enabled and force a relaunch to apply it. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, audit all Chrome desktop installations across your environment to identify systems running versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 and establish patching timeline with IT operations. …
