DescriptionCVE.org

Out of bounds read in WebCodecs in Google Chrome prior to 146.0.7680.178 allowed a remote attacker to perform an out of bounds memory read via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read in WebCodecs component of Google Chrome prior to version 146.0.7680.178 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary memory contents via specially crafted HTML pages. The vulnerability affects all Chrome versions below the patched release and requires only HTML delivery (no authentication); exploitation could disclose sensitive data from the browser process memory, though the Chromium project assessed this as Medium severity.

Technical ContextAI

WebCodecs is a web API in Chromium that provides low-level access to media encoding and decoding hardware. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-125 (out-of-bounds read), a memory safety issue where code reads data from a memory location outside the intended buffer boundaries. This type of flaw in a codec component typically arises from insufficient bounds checking when processing crafted media frames or parameters, allowing an attacker to read adjacent memory regions that may contain sensitive information such as encryption keys, authentication tokens, or data from other browser tabs. The flaw affects the generic Chrome CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) with no version lower bound specified in the CPE, indicating all versions prior to 146.0.7680.178 are potentially vulnerable.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 146.0.7680.178 or later. Users should update Chrome immediately using the built-in auto-update mechanism (Settings > About Chrome on desktop) or through their organization's software management system. Administrators deploying Chrome in enterprise environments should update to Chrome 146.0.7680.178 or later via appropriate deployment tools. For users unable to update immediately, minimizing browsing on untrusted or unfamiliar websites reduces exposure to HTML-based attack vectors.
