Use after free in Network in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the sandbox via a use-after-free in the Network component, triggered by a crafted HTML page. Chromium rates the severity as High and a vendor patch is available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
The flaw is a CWE-416 (Use After Free) memory corruption bug in Chrome's Network component, which handles network stack operations across the browser and renderer processes. Use-after-free conditions occur when memory is referenced after being freed, allowing an attacker who controls heap allocations to overwrite the freed object with attacker-controlled data and hijack subsequent dereferences. Because the bug resides in code reachable from the renderer-to-browser IPC boundary, successful exploitation can pivot a compromised renderer (S:C scope-changed in CVSS) into the more privileged browser process, defeating Chrome's site isolation sandbox. The affected codebase is Chromium-based, so downstream browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Electron) likely inherit the same defect until they pick up the upstream fix.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.53 (Stable channel) - upgrade all desktop Chrome installations immediately and verify via chrome://settings/help, referencing the advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. For managed fleets, push the update via enterprise update policies (Chrome Browser Cloud Management, Group Policy, MDM) and confirm rollout. Downstream Chromium browser users should apply vendor updates as soon as those projects merge the fix (tracked at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/487357841). No targeted workaround exists for a renderer-to-browser sandbox escape, but compensating controls include enabling site isolation (default), enforcing Enhanced Safe Browsing, disabling unneeded plugins/extensions that expand renderer attack surface, and for high-risk users enabling Chrome's Memory Safety / Site Isolation reporting and limiting browsing to trusted origins - trade-off is reduced compatibility and user friction.
