DescriptionCVE.org

Integer overflow in WebRTC in Google Chrome prior to 147.0.7727.55 allowed a remote attacker to perform an out of bounds memory write via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

Integer overflow in Google Chrome's WebRTC component (versions prior to 147.0.7727.55) enables remote attackers to trigger out-of-bounds memory writes through specially crafted HTML pages. Exploitation requires user interaction (visiting malicious page) but no authentication, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution, data corruption, or information disclosure. Vendor-assigned security severity: Low; CVSS 8.8 reflects high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

Root cause: CWE-472 integer overflow in WebRTC media handling logic. Arithmetic overflow enables controlled out-of-bounds write primitive in heap/stack memory regions. Attack vector requires processing attacker-controlled integer values during WebRTC session initialization or media stream processing. CPE: cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* affected through version 147.0.7727.54.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 147.0.7727.55. Users must immediately upgrade to this version or later through Chrome's built-in updater (Settings > About Chrome) or download from official distribution channels. Enterprise deployments should prioritize patch rollout via managed update infrastructure. No effective workarounds exist; disabling WebRTC via chrome://flags reduces attack surface but breaks legitimate real-time communication features. Verify installation success by navigating to chrome://settings/help. Official advisory: https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/04/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Technical details: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/486498791. EPSS score 0.03% indicates low observed exploitation activity.
