Use after free in Chromoting in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via malicious network traffic. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Google Chrome on Windows prior to version 149.0.7827.53 stems from a use-after-free flaw in the Chromoting (Chrome Remote Desktop) component. A remote attacker can deliver malicious network traffic that, combined with minimal user interaction, allows arbitrary code execution within the browser's renderer context. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but Google rates the underlying Chromium severity as High.
Technical ContextAI
Chromoting is the internal codename for Chrome Remote Desktop, the protocol stack that enables remote desktop sessions through Chrome. The flaw is classified as CWE-416 (Use After Free), a memory-corruption class where a pointer continues to be dereferenced after the underlying heap object has been freed, allowing an attacker who controls the reallocated memory to redirect execution flow. Use-after-free issues in Chromium have a long history of being weaponized into reliable RCE primitives once paired with a heap-grooming primitive, and the Chromoting subsystem in particular processes attacker-influenced network frames, providing a direct path for malicious input to reach the vulnerable code.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.53 for Windows - upgrade immediately via Chrome's auto-update mechanism or by forcing a relaunch through chrome://settings/help, and validate enterprise managed deployments using Google Update / Chrome Browser Cloud Management as described in the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html). Where patching cannot be completed immediately, a targeted compensating control is to disable Chrome Remote Desktop / Chromoting via the RemoteAccessHostFirewallTraversal and RemoteAccessHostClientDomainList enterprise policies, or by uninstalling the Chrome Remote Desktop host; the trade-off is loss of remote-desktop functionality for users who legitimately rely on it. Network-layer restrictions on outbound connectivity to the Chromoting relay endpoints (*.talkgadget.google.com, remoting endpoints) can reduce, but not eliminate, exposure since untrusted page content may still influence the same code paths.
