Use after free in Digital Credentials API in Google Chrome prior to 146.0.7680.153 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
A use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome's Digital Credentials API prior to version 146.0.7680.153 enables attackers with a compromised renderer process to escape the sandbox and potentially achieve code execution through a specially crafted HTML page. The vulnerability affects Chrome on multiple platforms including Ubuntu and Debian systems, requiring user interaction to trigger but presenting high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. A patch is available in Chrome 146.0.7680.153 and later versions.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-416 (Use After Free), a memory corruption weakness where the Digital Credentials API in Chrome fails to properly manage object lifecycle within the renderer process. The Digital Credentials API is a web platform feature that handles secure credential operations. When memory is freed but subsequently accessed by the API logic, an attacker can manipulate this freed memory region to achieve sandbox escape—the most critical impact in a multi-process browser architecture. The vulnerability requires an already-compromised renderer process as the entry point, making this a privilege escalation issue within the browser's security model rather than a direct remote code execution from an untrusted webpage.
RemediationAI
Users should upgrade Google Chrome to version 146.0.7680.153 or later immediately. On Debian systems, users should check for updated Chrome packages from Debian security advisories (ENISA EUVD-2026-13473) or install the latest version directly from Google's official Chrome downloads. Given the sandbox escape severity, no effective workaround exists short of patching; however, organizations may temporarily mitigate risk by disabling the Digital Credentials API via enterprise policy (chrome://policy) if available in their deployment, though this is not recommended as a long-term solution.
