Integer overflow in Media in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a malicious file. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Google Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code within the renderer sandbox by delivering a malicious media file. The flaw is rated High severity by Chromium and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8, requiring only that a user visit attacker-controlled content or open a crafted media resource. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in Chrome's Media component, which handles parsing and decoding of audio/video container formats and codecs within the browser. The CWE-472 classification (External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter) is somewhat atypical for a media integer overflow; the practical root cause is an integer overflow during media processing that leads to memory corruption and code execution constrained to the renderer/sandbox process. Chromium's Media stack runs inside the sandboxed renderer, so successful exploitation yields code execution inside that sandbox boundary - a separate sandbox escape would be needed to reach the host OS.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.53 - upgrade Chrome Stable to 149.0.7827.53 or later on all desktop platforms via the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html and force-restart browsers to apply the update. Administrators using Chromium-based browsers should monitor their respective vendors (Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi) for corresponding builds that rebase onto the patched Chromium. As a compensating control until patches are deployed, restrict autoplay and media loading from untrusted origins via enterprise policy (e.g., DefaultAutoplayPolicy, URLBlocklist for known-bad domains) and consider enabling Site Isolation strictly - note that disabling media features entirely (audio/video) will break legitimate web functionality and is generally not viable for production fleets.
