Remote crafted page needs no privileges but requires a user visit (UI:R); renderer-confined memory corruption gives high CIA with unchanged scope.

Heap buffer overflow in WebML in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 148.0.7778.168 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Heap buffer overflow in Google Chrome's WebML component on Windows lets a remote attacker trigger heap corruption-and potentially achieve code execution in the renderer-by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page in a version prior to 148.0.7778.168. Chromium rates the flaw High severity, and a vendor patch is available. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.06%).

Technical ContextAI

WebML is Chrome's in-browser machine-learning inference subsystem, which parses and executes model/tensor data supplied by web content. The root cause is CWE-122 (heap-based buffer overflow): attacker-influenced input (likely tensor dimensions, buffer sizes, or serialized model structures) is written past the bounds of a heap allocation, corrupting adjacent heap metadata or objects. Because this executes inside the renderer process, successful heap grooming can lead to memory disclosure or control-flow hijack, though Chrome's sandbox still stands between the renderer and the OS. The single CPE, cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*, confirms the affected product is the Chrome desktop browser (Windows builds specifically called out).

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 148.0.7778.168 or later on Windows via the Stable channel; restart the browser to apply the update, since Chrome stages updates but only activates them on relaunch (per https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_12.html). Organizations managing Chrome via policy should push the update through their software-deployment tooling and verify the running build. If immediate patching is not possible, the practical compensating control is to reduce exposure to untrusted web content-restrict browsing to trusted sites and consider enterprise policies that limit navigation-accepting the usability trade-off; there is no feature-level toggle documented to disable WebML alone, so patching is the reliable fix. Chromium-based downstream builds from Red Hat and SUSE should be updated to their corresponding fixed packages as they ship.
