Use after free in Payments in Google Chrome on Android prior to 147.0.7727.101 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Google Chrome on Android versions prior to 147.0.7727.101 is possible through a use-after-free vulnerability in the Payments feature. Attackers who successfully convince users to perform specific UI interactions on a malicious webpage can achieve arbitrary code execution with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability requires high attack complexity and user interaction (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R), indicating social engineering is necessary. Google has released Chrome 147.0.7727.101 to address this issue. No evidence of active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) or public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is a use-after-free memory corruption issue (CWE-416) affecting the Payments component of Google Chrome on Android. Use-after-free vulnerabilities occur when code continues to use a memory pointer after the memory has been freed, leading to unpredictable behavior including potential arbitrary code execution. The Payments feature in Chrome handles sensitive financial transaction interfaces, making it a high-value target. The CPE identifier cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome indicates this affects Google Chrome application versions prior to 147.0.7727.101 specifically on the Android platform. The Chromium issue tracker reference (499018889) suggests this was identified through Google's internal security review process. Use-after-free bugs are particularly dangerous in browser contexts because they can be triggered remotely through specially crafted web content and can bypass modern memory protection mechanisms if exploitation conditions are met.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome on Android to version 147.0.7727.101 or later immediately. The patch is available through the Google Play Store as part of Chrome's standard update mechanism. For enterprise Android deployments, push the updated Chrome version through mobile device management (MDM) solutions such as Google Workspace, Microsoft Intune, or VMware Workspace ONE. Users can manually update by opening the Play Store, searching for Chrome, and selecting Update, or by enabling automatic app updates in Play Store settings. Official vendor advisory and patch details are available at chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/04/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_15.html. If immediate patching is not feasible, interim compensating controls include disabling Chrome's Payments autofill feature through chrome://settings/payments (Settings > Payment methods > toggle off 'Save and fill payment methods'), though this significantly degrades user experience for e-commerce workflows and does not eliminate risk entirely since the vulnerable code may still be reachable through crafted pages. Consider restricting user access to untrusted websites through DNS filtering or mobile threat defense solutions until patching is complete. The Chrome Sync feature should remain enabled to ensure rapid update deployment across user devices.
