Use after free in Navigation in Google Chrome prior to 146.0.7680.178 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
Use-after-free in Google Chrome's Navigation component prior to version 146.0.7680.178 enables sandbox escape for attackers who have already compromised the renderer process, allowing them to potentially execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges via a malicious HTML page. Chromium rates this as high severity; patch availability confirmed from vendor.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability exploits a use-after-free condition (CWE-416) in Chrome's Navigation subsystem, a memory safety defect where freed memory is accessed after deallocation. The Navigation component handles browser history, URL transitions, and cross-process communication-core to the multi-process architecture that isolates renderer processes in sandboxes. A compromised renderer (via prior browser exploit or malicious content) can craft HTML payloads that trigger the use-after-free, breaking sandbox isolation and escalating to the browser process context. Affected versions span all Chrome releases before 146.0.7680.178 across all platforms (per CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*).
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 146.0.7680.178. Users should update immediately via Chrome Settings > About Google Chrome, which triggers automatic download and installation with restart. Administrators managing enterprise deployments should apply the patch through standard Chrome update policies (Group Policy on Windows, managed preferences on macOS/Linux). No workaround exists for the underlying use-after-free; patching is the only mitigation. Verify successful patching by confirming the version string in Chrome Menu > About Google Chrome displays 146.0.7680.178 or higher. Refer to https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/03/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_31.html for official patch notes and https://issues.chromium.org/issues/495931147 for technical details.
