Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Victim must open a crafted HTML page in Google Chrome prior to version 146.0.7680.178. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Without a published CVSS vector or EPSS score, risk assessment relies on available signals: (1) Attack vector is NETWORK (malicious HTML page delivery), (2) the Chromium team assigned HIGH severity rather than CRITICAL, suggesting likely user interaction or environment-specific conditions, (3) no CISA KEV listing or public exploit code identified, indicating no confirmed active exploitation in the wild, (4) patch is available from vendor, reducing window of exposure for updated users. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a malicious HTML page containing specially crafted codec data or a webpage that triggers integer overflow within Chrome's codec parser. When a victim visits the page (via phishing link, watering-hole attack, or malicious ad redirect), the integer overflow is triggered during codec processing, corrupting heap memory and enabling arbitrary read/write or code execution within the Chrome process. …
Remediation Users should immediately update Google Chrome to version 146.0.7680.178 or later. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
