Use after free in Tracing in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.103 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 prior to 149.0.7827.103 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the sandbox via a use-after-free flaw in the Tracing component, triggered through a crafted HTML page. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and SSVC indicates exploitation status is 'none', but the technical impact is rated total because a successful escape grants code execution at browser-process privileges. Google has shipped a fix and rates the underlying Chromium severity as Medium, while the assigned CVSS is 8.3 due to scope change and high CIA impact.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw is a CWE-416 use-after-free in Chromium's Tracing subsystem, the instrumentation framework (TraceEvent/Perfetto-backed) used to record performance and diagnostic events across Chrome processes. Use-after-free conditions occur when a freed object's memory is reused while a dangling pointer still references it, which an attacker can groom to gain control of a function pointer or vtable. Because Tracing exposes IPC surface reachable from the renderer, an attacker who already has code execution in the renderer (typically via a prior renderer RCE such as a V8 bug) can drive the Tracing logic in the privileged browser process to free and reuse an object, escaping the renderer sandbox. The affected component is the Chromium browser engine, used by Chrome and many downstream Chromium-based browsers.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.103 or later on Windows, macOS, and Linux via the stable-channel update described at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0153744567.html - this is the vendor-released patch and the primary fix. Verify the running version via chrome://settings/help and restart the browser to apply the update; in managed environments push the update through Chrome Browser Cloud Management, Group Policy, or the platform package manager. Downstream Chromium-based browsers should be updated as soon as their vendors rebase onto patched Chromium, and embedded runtimes such as Electron and CEF should be upgraded to releases that pick up the fix. As a compensating control while patching, site isolation should be left at its default enabled state (it does not block this bug but constrains what a compromised renderer can reach), and high-risk users can be moved into restrictive profiles or browse with extensions like NoScript/uBlock Origin to reduce exposure to untrusted HTML - at the cost of breaking many sites. Disabling the Tracing subsystem is not a supported user-facing configuration and is not a viable workaround.
