MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The victim must open a crafted HTML page in Google Chrome versions prior to 146.0.7680.153. WebRTC must be enabled (default). Remote attacker requires no authentication or special privileges. |
| Impact | While CVSS and EPSS scores are not provided in this dataset, the vulnerability exhibits high real-world risk due to multiple factors: (1) the attack vector is NETWORK-based (remote exploitation via crafted HTML), requiring only user interaction to visit a webpage; (2) the Chromium security team classified it as High severity, indicating potential code execution or significant memory safety impact; (3) the vulnerability affects a widely-deployed browser component (WebRTC) used in millions of enterprise and consumer deployments; (4) no exploit complexity is indicated, suggesting straightforward exploitation; (5) a patch exists from the vendor, indicating confirmed reproducibility. The presence of multiple intelligence sources (ENISA EUVD, Chromium issue tracking, Debian tracking) demonstrates this is a tracked, serious vulnerability. This should be treated as a moderate-to-high priority for browser-using organizations, particularly those with users accessing untrusted web content. The availability of a vendor patch reduces urgency but increases expectation for rapid deployment. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious HTML page containing specially formatted WebRTC data structures or payloads that trigger improper bounds checking in Chrome's WebRTC stack buffer handling. When a user visits this webpage in a vulnerable Chrome browser, the malformed input causes a stack buffer overflow, corrupting adjacent stack memory. This could lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the browser process, potentially allowing the attacker to steal credentials, capture webcam/microphone input, or compromise the user's system. No public proof-of-concept is indicated in the available sources, but the High severity rating and network-based attack vector suggest the exploitation path is straightforward once the specific buffer overflow offset is identified. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 20, 2026
Stack buffer overflow in Google Chrome's WebRTC implementation prior to version 146.0.7680.153 enables remote attackers to corrupt stack memory and achieve code execution through maliciously crafted HTML pages. The vulnerability affects Chrome, and potentially downstream products including Chromium-based browsers, requiring only user interaction and no authentication. A patch is available across affected platforms including Ubuntu and Debian.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
A stack buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the WebRTC component of Google Chrome versions prior to 146.0.7680.153, allowing remote attackers to trigger stack corruption and potentially execute arbitrary code by crafting malicious HTML pages. The vulnerability affects Chrome on desktop platforms and has been assigned High severity by Chromium's security team. A patch is available from Google, and the attack requires only user interaction (visiting a malicious webpage) with no special privileges.
RemediationAI
Users should immediately upgrade Google Chrome to version 146.0.7680.153 or later, which includes the fix for this stack buffer overflow. The official security update is available through Chrome's automatic update mechanism and documented at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/03/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_18.html. Enterprise administrators should deploy this update via their standard Chrome update mechanisms (Google Update, Intune, managed rollouts, or equivalent). For systems unable to patch immediately, restrict users from accessing untrusted websites by implementing URL filtering and content security policies; however, this is not a substitute for patching. Debian users should update their chromium or chromium-browser packages to the patched versions corresponding to their distribution release.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is a classic stack buffer overflow (CWE-121) occurring within Chrome's WebRTC implementation, which handles real-time communication protocols and media streaming. WebRTC processes untrusted input from network sources and HTML content; insufficient bounds checking on stack-allocated buffers allows an attacker to write beyond allocated memory boundaries. The root cause falls under CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow), indicating that local stack variables were not properly validated before being written to. The affected product is Google Chrome (identified by Chromium project tracking), and the vulnerability impacts the WebRTC subsystem which is critical for video/audio conferencing features in modern web applications.

Stack buffer overflow in WebRTC in Google Chrome prior to 146.0.7680.153 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit stack corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using WebRTC in Google Chrome face significant risk from CVE-2026-4444, a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability rated CVSS 8.8. Exploitation could allow attackers to corrupt memory, crash the application, or potentially execute arbitrary code. A patch is available and should be applied as part of regular vulnerability management.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Enable ASLR and DEP where available; (2) Implement network segmentation; (3) Monitor for exploitation indicators.

Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold.
