Use after free in WebShare in Google Chrome on Android 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: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome on Android prior to 149.0.7827.53 allows remote attackers who have already compromised the renderer process to break out of the sandbox via a crafted HTML page that triggers a use-after-free in the WebShare component. The flaw requires a pre-existing renderer compromise plus user interaction, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though Chromium-rated Medium severity and the patch availability suggest defenders should treat it as part of the standard Chrome update cycle.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the WebShare implementation within Chromium's Android port, which exposes the navigator.share() Web API to bridge web content with native Android share-sheet intents. The root cause is CWE-416 (Use After Free): a memory object backing a WebShare operation is freed while a dangling reference is still reachable, allowing the attacker to reuse the freed allocation with controlled data. Because WebShare brokers communication between the renderer process and higher-privileged browser/Android system components, corrupting its state from a compromised renderer can be leveraged to cross the sandbox boundary. The affected CPE family is Google Chrome for Android up to but not including 149.0.7827.53.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome for Android 149.0.7827.53 or later - update via Google Play Store or device-managed app distribution as soon as the build reaches your channel, per the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. There is no documented runtime workaround for the WebShare UAF itself; until updates are deployed, compensating controls include restricting installation of untrusted apps and discouraging users from interacting with share prompts on unknown sites, and for managed fleets, using Chrome Enterprise / Android Management policies to enforce minimum Chrome versions and to disable WebShare-related permissions where feasible (trade-off: breaks legitimate share workflows in web apps). Mobile EDR/MTD products can flag outdated Chrome versions as an additional detection layer.
