MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the victim to be running Google Chrome on macOS at a version prior to 149.0.7827.103 and to load attacker-controlled HTML/JavaScript in that browser (UI:R). No authentication, no prior access, and no special server-side configuration is needed on the attacker's part, but the victim's browser must reach the malicious origin and must have the Web Bluetooth code path reachable - enterprise deployments that have set DefaultWebBluetoothGuardSetting to BlockWebBluetooth are not exposed. The vulnerability is scoped to the macOS build per the description; Windows and Linux Chrome are not listed as affected, which materially limits the impacted population. |
| Impact | The CVSS 8.8 score reflects network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, and high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability - but UI:R (user interaction required) means the victim must visit a malicious page, which tempers drive-by-style mass exploitation. CISA's SSVC framework rates exploitation as 'none' and automatable as 'no', though technical impact is 'total', and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the CVE is not on the CISA KEV list. EPSS data was not provided in the input, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified here. The realistic risk is moderate-to-high for macOS Chrome users: Chrome use-after-free vulnerabilities are historically attractive to commercial spyware vendors and are routinely chained with sandbox escapes, so while there is no evidence of in-the-wild abuse today, the bug class and target browser warrant prompt patching rather than deferred treatment. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker hosts a crafted HTML page containing JavaScript that invokes Web Bluetooth APIs in a sequence that frees an internal Bluetooth-related object and then reuses the dangling reference with attacker-shaped heap content. A macOS user running a vulnerable Chrome build is lured to the page via phishing, malvertising, or a watering-hole compromise, triggering heap corruption that the attacker grooms into arbitrary code execution inside the renderer, typically as the first stage of a chain that pairs with a sandbox escape for full device compromise. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 09, 2026
Heap corruption in Google Chrome on macOS prior to version 149.0.7827.103 can be triggered remotely through a crafted HTML page that exploits a use-after-free condition in the browser's Bluetooth component. Successful exploitation requires the victim to visit attacker-controlled content but no authentication, and Google has rated the underlying Chromium severity as High with no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-released patch by upgrading Google Chrome on macOS to version 149.0.7827.103 or later via the Stable channel update documented at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0153744567.html; restart the browser after update to ensure the patched binary is loaded. For managed fleets, push the update through MDM (Jamf, Intune, Kandji) and verify rollout via chrome://version. As an interim compensating control where patching is delayed, disable the Web Bluetooth API by setting the DefaultWebBluetoothGuardSetting enterprise policy to 2 (BlockWebBluetooth), which neutralizes the attack surface at the cost of breaking any internal tooling that relies on Web Bluetooth; blocking outbound access to untrusted web content for high-value macOS endpoints is a heavier-handed alternative.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw resides in Chrome's Bluetooth implementation, which exposes Web Bluetooth APIs allowing web pages to communicate with nearby Bluetooth devices via JavaScript. The root cause is CWE-416 (Use After Free), a memory safety class where a pointer to freed heap memory is dereferenced, typically because object lifetime tracking between the renderer process, the Bluetooth service, and Mojo IPC bindings is mismanaged. On macOS, Chrome's Bluetooth stack interacts with Apple's CoreBluetooth framework via dedicated service processes, and freed objects in this path can be reclaimed with attacker-controlled data to corrupt heap metadata or vtable pointers, enabling arbitrary code execution within the renderer or affected service process.

Use after free in Bluetooth in Google Chrome on Mac prior to 149.0.7827.103 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
Executive ViewAI
Google Chrome on macOS versions prior to 149.0.7827.103 contain a heap corruption vulnerability in the Bluetooth component that allows remote code execution when users visit attacker-controlled websites. This affects all macOS employees using Chrome and poses significant risk due to ease of exploitation and high severity; immediate patching is required.
Apply vendor patch.

SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
Use-after-free vulnerabilities occur when a program continues to access memory through a pointer after that memory has been deallocated.
Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.
Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
