Use after free in PDFium in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted PDF file. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Google Chrome's PDFium component prior to version 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code within the renderer sandbox via a crafted PDF file. The flaw is a use-after-free memory corruption issue (CWE-416) requiring user interaction to open or render the malicious PDF, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Chromium rates the security severity as Low despite the CVSS 8.8 score, reflecting the sandbox containment of the resulting code execution.

Technical ContextAI

PDFium is the open-source PDF rendering engine embedded in Chromium-based browsers, responsible for parsing and displaying PDF documents directly in the browser tab. The root cause is CWE-416 (Use After Free), in which memory is referenced after it has been released back to the allocator, enabling an attacker who controls subsequent heap allocations to manipulate freed object contents and hijack control flow. Because PDFium runs inside Chrome's renderer process, successful exploitation is confined to the sandboxed renderer rather than the host operating system, unless chained with a separate sandbox escape. The affected CPE scope is Google Chrome desktop builds before 149.0.7827.53.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.53 - upgrade Chrome Stable to this version or later via the built-in updater or your managed-browser deployment tooling (consult the Stable Channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html and the upstream tracker at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/504545544). Enterprises managing fleets should force a relaunch to apply the update, since Chrome updates only become active after restart. As a compensating control while patching is in flight, disable the built-in PDF viewer by setting the AlwaysOpenPdfExternally policy so PDFs are downloaded rather than rendered in-browser - the trade-off is a degraded user experience and shifted risk to whichever external PDF handler users have installed. Network-side, content-inspection proxies can be configured to strip or sandbox inbound PDF attachments, though this will break legitimate workflows that rely on inline PDF delivery.
