Exploitation Conditions

No special conditions — remote unauthenticated exploitation against unpatched Google Chrome versions prior to 145.0.7632.116 on macOS. User must visit malicious website or open crafted HTML file.

Impact

CVSS 9.8. OOB write enables code execution — more severe than the Media OOB read. Mac-specific attack surface.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

Attacker serves WebGPU content with crafted shaders that trigger OOB write in Tint compiler, achieving code execution in the renderer process.

DescriptionCVE.org

Out of bounds read and write in Tint in Google Chrome on Mac prior to 145.0.7632.116 allowed a remote attacker to perform out of bounds memory access via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical memory corruption vulnerability in Google Chrome's Tint rendering engine affects Mac users and can be exploited remotely through a malicious webpage, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. This poses an immediate risk to any organization where employees use Chrome on macOS, as attackers can gain unauthorized system access without user interaction beyond visiting a compromised site.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Disable Google Chrome on all macOS devices and mandate alternative browsers (Safari, Firefox, Edge) until patch availability is confirmed; implement network segmentation to limit lateral movement if compromise occurs; deploy endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to monitor for exploitation attempts; restrict access to untrusted websites via web filtering/proxy; consider disabling JavaScript rendering for non-essential users; monitor Chrome security advisories for patch release date and establish rapid deployment plan.
