DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in PresentationAPI in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.96 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Google Chrome prior to version 148.0.7778.96 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code within the browser's sandbox by exploiting a use-after-free vulnerability in the Presentation API through a specially crafted HTML page. User interaction is required (visiting a malicious webpage). EPSS data not available for this recent CVE. No public exploit confirmed at time of analysis, though the vulnerability has been patched by Google in the stable channel release.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability affects the Presentation API implementation in Chromium-based Google Chrome browsers (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome). The Presentation API allows web applications to display content on secondary screens or devices. The underlying flaw is a use-after-free condition (CWE-416), a memory corruption vulnerability where the browser attempts to access memory after it has been freed. This class of vulnerability occurs when pointer references are not properly invalidated after memory deallocation, allowing attackers to manipulate freed memory regions. In browser contexts, use-after-free bugs are particularly dangerous because they can be triggered through JavaScript and DOM manipulation in crafted web pages, potentially bypassing memory safety protections to achieve code execution within the renderer process sandbox.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome to version 148.0.7778.96 or later immediately via the browser's built-in update mechanism (Settings > About Chrome) or by downloading the latest version from google.com/chrome. Chrome typically auto-updates within 24-48 hours of release, but manual update ensures immediate protection. For enterprise environments using managed deployments, push version 148.0.7778.96 through existing update channels. Until patching is complete, organizations can reduce exposure by implementing strict web filtering to block access to untrusted sites, though this is impractical for most users. Disabling the Presentation API via enterprise policy (if available) would eliminate the attack surface but breaks legitimate functionality for users relying on multi-screen presentations. No effective workaround exists for individual users beyond avoiding untrusted web content until the update is applied.
