Use after free in Passwords in Google Chrome on Android prior to 149.0.7827.155 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)
Articles & Coverage 3
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Google Chrome on Android before 149.0.7827.155 stems from a use-after-free in the Passwords component, letting a remote attacker who lures a victim to a crafted HTML page corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code within the browser process. Chromium rates the flaw Critical, though the assigned CVSS is 8.8; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and CISA SSVC records exploitation status as none. EPSS is low at 0.39% (30th percentile), consistent with a patched, not-yet-exploited memory bug.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a use-after-free (CWE-416) in Chrome's Passwords subsystem - the browser feature responsible for storing, autofilling, and managing saved credentials. A use-after-free occurs when the program continues to reference heap memory after it has been freed; an attacker who controls subsequent heap allocations can groom that freed region and hijack the dangling pointer, typically leading to controlled memory corruption and, in Chrome's renderer/browser context, arbitrary code execution. The CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome) identifies Google Chrome as the affected product, while the description narrows real impact to the Android build. Chromium's Passwords code is shared across platforms, so the underlying defect may exist broadly even though the reported exploitable surface and fix are framed for Android.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 149.0.7827.155 - update Google Chrome on Android to 149.0.7827.155 or later via the Google Play Store; on managed fleets, push the update through MDM/enterprise policy and confirm the client version. Verify the fix and channel details against the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_01750511403.html and the Chromium issue https://issues.chromium.org/issues/521950423. Because exploitation requires the user to open attacker-controlled web content, effective interim compensating controls are: restricting browsing to trusted sites via enterprise policy or web-filtering/proxy blocklists to cut off delivery of crafted HTML pages (trade-off: may break legitimate sites and adds proxy overhead), and enabling Chrome's site-isolation and auto-update enforcement so devices cannot linger on vulnerable builds (trade-off: minimal, but requires MDM control). Red Hat and SUSE users should also watch their respective distribution advisories for any rebuilt packages.
