Chrome EUVD-2026-13465

Remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this via crafted HTML page. Victim must open/visit the malicious page in Google Chrome versions prior to 146.0.7680.153. No special configuration required — affects default Chrome installations.

The real-world risk is HIGH despite the absence of a CVSS vector score in the provided data. Several signals indicate imminent exploitation potential: (1) The vulnerability is in a ubiquitous, remotely accessible renderer used by hundreds of millions of users; (2) The attack vector is Network with likely Low complexity (crafted HTML page), requiring no user privileges beyond visiting a malicious website; (3) The technical impact is Heap Corruption, which is automatable and can lead to both Denial of Service and potential Remote Code Execution; (4) A patch is already available, suggesting security researchers have validated the flaw; (5) Debian is actively tracking this across 9 releases, indicating downstream operational urgency. While KEV status and POC availability are not explicitly confirmed in the provided data, the combination of high Chromium severity rating, memory corruption impact, and network-based attack vector places this in the critical patch-immediately category per SSVC framework. This is NOT a low-risk false positive—heap corruption in rendering engines is consistently exploited by sophisticated threat actors.

An attacker crafts a malicious HTML page containing specific DOM manipulation code that triggers the use-after-free condition in Blink's memory manager. When a victim visits the attacker-controlled website or clicks a link to it, Chrome's renderer processes the HTML, inadvertently frees an object while maintaining an internal pointer to it, and subsequently attempts to access the freed memory. This could cause an immediate crash (Denial of Service) or, with sophisticated heap grooming techniques, allow the attacker to overwrite heap metadata to achieve arbitrary code execution within the Chrome sandbox. Given the network attack vector and low complexity, this vulnerability is highly likely to be weaponized in malware distribution campaigns or targeted attacks once public exploit code emerges.
