DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient data validation in Media in Google Chrome prior to 147.0.7727.55 allowed a remote attacker to perform an out of bounds memory read via a crafted video file. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds memory read in Google Chrome's media subsystem (versions prior to 147.0.7727.55) enables remote attackers to disclose sensitive information and trigger denial-of-service conditions via malicious video files. Exploitation requires user interaction (opening/playing crafted video content). Attack vector is network-based with low complexity and no authentication required. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. Low observed exploitation activity (EPSS 0.03%, 10th percentile).

Technical ContextAI

CWE-125 out-of-bounds read vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation in Chrome's media processing pipeline when parsing video file structures. Affects cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* prior to build 147.0.7727.55. Attack achieves high confidentiality impact through memory disclosure and high availability impact via process crashes, classified low severity by Chromium team despite CVSS 8.1 scoring.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Google Chrome version 147.0.7727.55 or later via automatic update mechanism or manual download from official channels. Organizations should prioritize deployment despite low Chromium severity rating given CVSS 8.1 score and potential for memory disclosure attacks. Verify installation reaches build number 147.0.7727.55 minimum. No effective workarounds exist short of blocking untrusted video file sources at network perimeter or disabling media playback features (operationally impractical).
