Use after free in WebGPU in Google Chrome prior to 146.0.7680.165 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Sandboxed code execution in Google Chrome's WebGPU implementation (prior to 146.0.7680.165) stems from a use-after-free memory vulnerability that can be triggered via malicious HTML pages. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code within the Chrome sandbox without user interaction beyond viewing a crafted webpage. A patch is available for affected users.
Technical ContextAI
WebGPU is a modern graphics API standard implemented in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera) that provides low-level GPU access for web applications. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-416 (Use After Free), a memory safety defect where code attempts to access memory that has already been freed, leading to potential code execution, information disclosure, or denial of service. In WebGPU's context, improper lifetime management of graphics objects or buffers could allow an attacker to trigger use-after-free conditions through crafted WebGL/WebGPU command sequences. The affected product is Google Chrome (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) in all versions prior to 146.0.7680.165.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade Google Chrome to version 146.0.7680.165 or later, which includes the patch for this use-after-free vulnerability. Chrome auto-updates on most platforms, but users can manually verify their version in Settings > About > Google Chrome. For enterprise environments, deploy the latest Chrome updates via your standard patch management process (WSUS, MDM, or equivalent) and enforce automatic updates via group policy or device configuration profiles. As a temporary mitigation pending patch deployment, restrict access to untrusted websites by implementing browser policies that disable WebGPU (chrome://flags/#enable-unsafe-webgpu if manually toggled) or by using a web filter that blocks known malicious domains; however, this is not a substitute for patching. Monitor the Chromium security dashboard (https://issues.chromium.org/) for any related vulnerability disclosures.
