Use after free in FileSystem in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome's FileSystem component prior to version 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker to break out of the renderer sandbox via a crafted HTML page that triggers a use-after-free condition. Successful exploitation requires the victim to interact with attacker-controlled web content, but yields a scope change from the constrained renderer process to higher-privileged host context. EPSS is currently low (0.03%) and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, though Google rates the underlying Chromium severity as High.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in Chrome's FileSystem API implementation, which is part of the Blink rendering engine and Chromium's broader IPC-mediated file access subsystem. The root cause is CWE-416 (Use After Free), a memory-corruption class in which an object is referenced after its backing memory has been released, allowing an attacker who can influence reallocation to control the contents pointed to by a dangling pointer. Because the FileSystem component bridges renderer-side JavaScript and the browser process that brokers actual file operations, a UAF here is particularly impactful: it can be leveraged to corrupt state across the sandbox boundary, which aligns with the CVSS scope-changed (S:C) rating.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.53 or later on the stable desktop channel - install via the auto-update mechanism or push managed updates through enterprise policy (see https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html). For Chromium-derived browsers, upgrade once the vendor ships a build that incorporates the upstream fix tracked in https://issues.chromium.org/issues/501115599. As a temporary compensating control for users who cannot update immediately, restrict use of the affected browser for untrusted browsing and consider disabling the FileSystem API via enterprise policy or browser flags where supported - the trade-off is broken functionality in web apps that rely on sandboxed file storage (some PWAs and editors). Site-isolation and Strict Site Isolation policies should be left enabled, as they raise the cost of exploiting renderer-process bugs even though they do not directly fix this sandbox-escape vector.
