Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The victim must open or navigate to a crafted PDF file inside Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.103 with the built-in PDFium viewer active - this is the UI:R requirement in the CVSS vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H yields 8.8 (High): network-reachable, low complexity, no privileges, but user interaction required (opening or rendering the malicious PDF) and scope unchanged - execution is confined to the sandboxed renderer. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker hosts a crafted PDF on an attacker-controlled site or delivers it via email, phishing link, or a malvertising redirect, and lures the victim into opening it in Chrome. When PDFium parses the file, the use-after-free is triggered and the attacker gains arbitrary code execution inside the sandboxed renderer, which they would typically chain with a separate sandbox escape to compromise the host. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.103 - upgrade all desktop Chrome installations to this version or later via the Stable Channel update described at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0153744567.html, and verify deployment by checking chrome://settings/help. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
