Use after free in Dawn in Google Chrome prior to 146.0.7680.165 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome prior to version 146.0.7680.165 via a use-after-free vulnerability in the Dawn graphics component enables remote attackers to execute arbitrary code when users visit malicious HTML pages. The vulnerability affects multiple platforms including Debian systems and requires only user interaction to trigger, bypassing Chrome's sandbox isolation. A patch is available to remediate this high-severity memory corruption flaw.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in Dawn, Google's graphics abstraction layer built on WebGPU standards, which provides low-level GPU access within Chrome's sandbox environment. The affected component is identified through CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), confirming impact across all Chrome versions prior to 146.0.7680.165. The root cause is classified under CWE-416 (Use After Free), a memory safety issue where code references memory that has been deallocated, allowing attackers to read/write freed memory regions. In the context of a graphics library handling WebGPU commands parsed from untrusted HTML content, this could permit GPU command injection or memory layout manipulation to escape the renderer sandbox.
RemediationAI
Immediately update Google Chrome to version 146.0.7680.165 or later via Settings > About > Chrome, which will auto-download and apply the patch upon restart. For enterprise environments, deploy the update via Google Chrome for Enterprise policies or third-party patch management tools to ensure coverage across all endpoints within 24-48 hours. Until patching is complete, disable WebGPU functionality via chrome://flags/#enable-unsafe-webgpu if web browsing risk cannot be controlled, though this is a temporary measure only. Organizations should prioritize this patch above routine updates due to the sandbox escape severity; consider requiring Chrome auto-updates or implementing managed device policies that prevent use of unpatched versions on corporate networks.
