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 by enticing a user to open a crafted PDF file. The flaw is a use-after-free memory corruption issue (CWE-416) carrying a CVSS 8.8 rating, though Chromium rated its security severity as Low and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. User interaction is required, and code execution is constrained to the Chrome sandbox absent a chained sandbox escape.

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 vulnerability is a use-after-free (CWE-416), a memory-safety defect where the program continues to reference heap memory after it has been deallocated; attackers craft input that triggers the dangling reference and then reclaim the freed region with attacker-controlled data, leading to control over a function pointer or vtable and ultimately arbitrary code execution. Because PDFium runs inside Chrome's renderer process, successful exploitation gains code execution within the renderer sandbox rather than directly on the host operating system.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.53 on the Stable Desktop channel - update Chrome to 149.0.7827.53 or later via the built-in updater or managed deployment tooling (chrome://settings/help), referencing the advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Administrators of Chromium-derived browsers should track their vendor's release notes for an equivalent PDFium update and apply it as soon as it ships. Until patches are deployed, compensating controls include disabling Chrome's built-in PDF viewer by setting the AlwaysOpenPdfExternally enterprise policy to true so PDFs are downloaded rather than rendered in PDFium (trade-off: degraded UX and shifts risk to whichever external PDF reader is configured), or blocking PDF downloads from untrusted origins at the web proxy (trade-off: breaks legitimate workflows that depend on inline PDF delivery). Generic browser hardening such as enforcing Site Isolation and keeping the renderer sandbox intact remains relevant since exploitation is currently bounded by the sandbox.
