Use after free in USB in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome on Windows versions prior to 149.0.7827.53 can be triggered by a remote attacker via a crafted HTML page that exploits a use-after-free condition in the USB component. The flaw carries a CVSS score of 9.6 due to its scope-changing impact, though Google rated the underlying Chromium security severity as Medium, and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis with an EPSS score of just 0.03%.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in Chrome's USB subsystem, which implements the WebUSB API allowing web pages to communicate with USB devices through the browser. CWE-416 (Use After Free) indicates that memory referencing a USB-related object is accessed after the object has been freed, typically resulting in undefined behavior that a skilled attacker can manipulate to corrupt memory and hijack control flow. Because USB device handling code runs with elevated privileges relative to the renderer sandbox on Windows, a successful exploit pivots from the constrained renderer process into the higher-privileged browser process, achieving sandbox escape. The Windows-specific nature suggests the bug involves platform-specific USB stack interactions or IPC handling between renderer and browser processes.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.53 for Windows - upgrade immediately via Chrome's built-in updater (chrome://settings/help) or through enterprise deployment tooling such as Chrome Browser Cloud Management, Group Policy, or SCCM. Enterprises managing fleets should verify rollout via the Chrome release notes at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html and monitor the Chromium tracker at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/496233132. As a compensating control until patching completes, administrators can disable WebUSB via the DefaultWebUsbGuardSetting enterprise policy (set to 2 to block), which removes the attack surface entirely at the cost of breaking legitimate WebUSB-dependent web applications such as hardware key provisioning tools and some development workflows.
