DescriptionCVE.org

Integer overflow in Media in Google Chrome prior to 147.0.7727.55 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted video file. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

Integer overflow in Google Chrome's Media component enables remote heap corruption through malicious video files. Affects Chrome versions prior to 147.0.7727.55 on all desktop platforms. Unauthenticated attackers can achieve arbitrary code execution, data theft, or denial of service by convincing users to open specially crafted video content. CVSS 8.8 severity reflects network-based attack requiring user interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. Low observed exploitation activity (EPSS <1%).

Technical ContextAI

CWE-472 integer overflow in Media subsystem's video processing logic triggers heap memory corruption. Unauthenticated network vector (CVSS AV:N/PR:N) exploitable through browser rendering pipeline when parsing malformed video file structures. Chromium-assigned Low severity contrasts with CVSS 8.8 High rating, suggesting limited practical exploitability despite theoretical impact scope.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 147.0.7727.55. Immediate upgrade mandatory via Chrome's built-in updater (Settings > About Chrome) or direct download from https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/04/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Enterprise deployments should push 147.0.7727.55+ through managed update channels within 72 hours. No effective workaround exists; mitigation requires patching. Until upgrade completes, disable automatic video preview features and avoid opening untrusted video files. Chromium issue tracker: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/485203821. Official advisory: https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/04/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html
