Uninitialized Use in iOS in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 148.0.7778.216 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary code execution within the sandbox in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 148.0.7778.216 allows remote attackers to abuse an uninitialized memory condition when a victim performs specific UI gestures on a crafted HTML page. Chromium rates the security severity as High, and a vendor patch is available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the EPSS score (0.04%) suggests low near-term exploitation likelihood.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw is classified as CWE-457 (Use of Uninitialized Variable), a memory-safety class where a variable or memory region is read before being explicitly initialized, producing attacker-influenceable values that can corrupt control flow or leak data. The affected component is the iOS build of Google Chrome (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*), which on iOS is constrained to Apple's WebKit-based WKWebView rendering due to App Store policy - meaning the bug is most likely in Chrome's iOS-specific UI/glue code that handles gesture input and HTML content rather than in the Blink renderer used on other platforms. Execution remains confined to Chrome's iOS sandbox (Scope: Unchanged in the CVSS vector).

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome for iOS 148.0.7778.216 - upgrade via the App Store as referenced in the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0877304591.html) and confirm the installed build in Chrome's About screen. No vendor-published workaround exists; as compensating controls while updates roll out, restrict use of Chrome on iOS to trusted sites only (the bug requires loading a crafted HTML page), or temporarily route iOS users through Safari, which uses the same WebKit engine but is not affected by this Chrome-specific code path - the trade-off is loss of Chrome sync/features and added user friction. Enterprise MDM operators should push the App Store update and track compliance, since the exploit requires UI gestures that end users may inadvertently perform.
