DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in TabStrip in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.216 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Heap corruption in Google Chrome's TabStrip component before version 148.0.7778.216 allows remote attackers to potentially achieve code execution by serving a crafted HTML page and inducing the victim to perform specific UI gestures. Chromium rates the issue High severity, but EPSS places exploitation probability at just 0.03% (11th percentile) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, reflecting the high attack complexity and required user interaction.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw is a CWE-416 use-after-free in TabStrip, the Chrome UI component that manages browser tabs and their lifecycle. Use-after-free bugs occur when memory is referenced after being freed, allowing an attacker to reclaim that allocation with attacker-controlled data and corrupt the heap. The affected product per CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome and the bug exists in the browser process UI layer, meaning successful exploitation could escape the typical renderer sandbox boundary if the freed object is reached through UI-driven code paths.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Chrome 148.0.7778.216 - upgrade Chrome desktop to this version or later via the Stable channel update referenced at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0877304591.html, then restart the browser to apply. For managed fleets, push the update via Chrome Browser Cloud Management, Group Policy, or your MDM and verify chrome://version reflects the fixed build. No vendor workaround is published; as compensating controls until rollout completes, restrict browsing to trusted sites via enterprise URL allowlists (trade-off: breaks legitimate browsing), enforce Site Isolation (already default on desktop), and remind users that the attack requires specific UI interaction with a malicious page so phishing-awareness training reduces residual risk. Downstream Chromium browsers should be tracked separately for their respective vendor releases.
