Out of bounds read in Skia in Google Chrome prior to 147.0.7727.101 allowed a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted file. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Information disclosure in Google Chrome prior to version 147.0.7727.101 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information from process memory by enticing a user to open a crafted file. The vulnerability, rated Medium severity by Chrome, resides in the Skia graphics library and is not currently listed in CISA KEV, with a low EPSS exploitation probability (0.03%). A patch is available from Google.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability lies in Skia, the 2D graphics library that underpins Chrome's rendering pipeline. It is classified as CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read), indicating that a crafted file-likely an image, font, or other graphical resource-can cause Skia to read beyond the bounds of an allocated buffer. The CPE string (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) confirms that all Chrome releases before the fix are affected. This class of flaw can leak stack or heap memory contents, potentially exposing secrets such as other tabs' data or authentication tokens.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome to version 147.0.7727.101 or later, as detailed in the vendor advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/04/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_15.html). Ensure automatic updates are enabled to receive the fix promptly. If patching cannot be performed immediately, a temporary workaround is to avoid opening files from untrusted sources within Chrome, though this mitigation is impractical for general browsing and does not address drive-by exploitation via embedded content, as user interaction would still be required to visit a malicious site hosting the crafted file.
