DescriptionCVE.org

Out of bounds read in AdFilter 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: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution within Chrome's sandbox affects all versions prior to 148.0.7778.96 through an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the AdFilter component. Attackers can execute arbitrary code by delivering a specially crafted HTML page, requiring only that a user visit the malicious page. Chrome has released version 148.0.7778.96 to address this vulnerability. No evidence of active exploitation (not in CISA KEV) or public proof-of-concept code at time of analysis, though the vulnerability's network-based attack vector and low complexity make it a realistic exploitation target once technical details become public.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability affects Google Chrome's AdFilter component, part of Chrome's content filtering and ad-blocking infrastructure. The root cause is an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125), a memory safety issue where the application reads data beyond the boundaries of an allocated buffer. In Chrome's multi-process architecture, this occurs within the sandboxed renderer process responsible for parsing and displaying web content. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome) encompasses all Chrome distributions across Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS platforms. Out-of-bounds reads can leak sensitive memory contents and, when chained with other vulnerabilities or specific memory layouts, enable arbitrary code execution within the sandbox boundary. The AdFilter component processes advertiser-controlled HTML content, making it an attractive attack surface for malicious actors.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome to version 148.0.7778.96 or later immediately. Chrome's auto-update mechanism will deploy this patch automatically for most users within 24-48 hours; administrators can verify the installed version by navigating to chrome://settings/help. Enterprise environments using managed Chrome deployments should push the update through their software distribution systems and verify deployment completion. For Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi), monitor vendor security channels for equivalent patches as they sync upstream Chromium fixes. As a temporary compensating control while awaiting patch deployment, organizations can restrict browsing to trusted domains through enterprise policy (URLBlocklist/URLAllowlist), though this significantly impacts productivity and should only be considered for high-risk users handling sensitive data. Disabling JavaScript via chrome://settings/content offers defense-in-depth but breaks most modern web applications. Network-layer defenses (web proxies, DNS filtering) can block known malicious domains but provide limited protection against targeted attacks using novel infrastructure. All compensating controls are partial mitigations only-patching remains the primary remediation.
