DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in Auth in Google Chrome prior to 153.0.8010.47 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Use-after-free in Google Chrome's Auth component allows a remote attacker to achieve code execution outside the browser sandbox when a victim simply loads a crafted HTML page in any desktop Chrome build prior to 153.0.8010.47. Exploitation is unauthenticated and requires no special configuration - the only prerequisite is the user interaction of visiting or rendering the attacker-controlled page (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H, 9.6), and because the flaw is not confined to the renderer, no separate sandbox-escape bug is needed to reach the host. …
