Reachable over the web (AV:N) via crafted HTML with UI:R, but AC:H reflects the required prior renderer compromise and unreliable overflow; total in-renderer impact gives C/I/A:H with S:U.

Integer overflow in Skia in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 148.0.7778.168 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to perform an out of bounds memory write via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds memory write in Google Chrome's Skia graphics library on Windows (versions prior to 148.0.7778.168) lets an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process trigger an integer overflow via a crafted HTML page, corrupting memory in a Critical-rated flaw. It is a second-stage primitive used to widen an existing renderer foothold, not a standalone remote-entry bug. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.07%, 21st percentile), consistent with the SSVC 'Exploitation: none' assessment.
Technical ContextAI
Skia is Chromium's 2D graphics rasterization engine, responsible for rendering paths, shapes, images and canvas/WebGL content across all Chrome platforms. The flaw is an integer overflow in Skia's handling of attacker-influenced geometry/size parameters from a crafted HTML page; when an oversized value wraps, subsequent allocation or index math underestimates a buffer and Skia writes past its bounds. Note a CWE mapping caveat: the input labels this CWE-472 (External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter), but the described integer-overflow-to-OOB-write behavior more naturally corresponds to CWE-190 (Integer Overflow or Wraparound) leading to CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write) - treat the specific CWE as low-confidence. Because the description states the renderer is already compromised, this operates inside the sandboxed renderer/GPU context and is typically one link in a multi-bug exploit chain.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 148.0.7778.168 - upgrade Google Chrome on Windows to 148.0.7778.168 or later, which for most users applies automatically; force it via chrome://settings/help and relaunch, or push the update through enterprise management (Google Update/ADMX policies) to guarantee coverage. Reference the Chrome Stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_12.html. Because exploitation requires an already-compromised renderer, effective compensating controls until patching center on hardening the renderer entry point: ensure the Chrome sandbox and Site Isolation remain enabled (do not disable with --no-sandbox), keep users off untrusted sites, and consider enabling Enhanced Safe Browsing (trade-off: additional URL/telemetry sharing with Google). Chromium-based derivatives should be updated to a build that has rebased past this Skia fix.
