AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Remote crafted page (AV:N, low complexity) needs only a user visit (UI:R, PR:N); sandbox escape changes scope (S:C) and yields full code execution (C/I/A:H).

Use after free in Views in Google Chrome on on Mac prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox-escaping remote code execution in Google Chrome for macOS (versions prior to 152.0.7977.65) stems from a use-after-free in the Views UI framework, letting a remote attacker run arbitrary code outside the renderer sandbox when a victim loads a crafted HTML page. Google rates the Chromium severity Critical and CVSS is 9.6, but there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is a low 0.41%. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the victim to load attacker-controlled web content in a vulnerable macOS Chrome build (UI:R - user interaction in the form of visiting or rendering a crafted HTML page). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals here are genuinely mixed and should be weighed rather than taken at face value. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page (or injects it via a malvertisement or compromised site) and lures a macOS Chrome user to visit it. When the page is rendered, it triggers the use-after-free in the Views component, corrupting browser-process memory to execute attacker-controlled code outside the renderer sandbox. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade Google Chrome to 152.0.7977.65 or later on macOS via the Stable channel update (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html); in most deployments this happens automatically, so the actionable step is to trigger 'chrome://settings/help' to force the update and relaunch, or push the new build through your MDM/enterprise management channel. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Inventory all macOS Chrome installations and push notification to end users about the critical patch; enable or verify Chrome auto-updates are active organization-wide. …
