Remote crafted page with low complexity and no auth, but victim must open the page (UI:R); use-after-free yields high C/I/A within the renderer, scope unchanged absent a sandbox escape.

DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in Downloads in Google Chrome on Android prior to 149.0.7827.155 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Heap corruption in the Downloads component of Google Chrome for Android before 149.0.7827.155 lets a remote attacker trigger a use-after-free by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page, potentially achieving code execution in the renderer. Rated High severity by Chromium with an 8.8 CVSS, but there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and CISA SSVC records exploitation status as none. EPSS is low (0.30%, 21st percentile), consistent with a patched browser bug not yet weaponized.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw is a CWE-416 Use After Free in Chrome's Downloads subsystem, the browser component that manages download requests, item lifecycle, and file handling. A use-after-free occurs when a heap object is freed but a dangling pointer to it is later dereferenced; an attacker who controls heap layout (e.g. via crafted HTML/JavaScript driving download operations) can groom freed memory to force reuse of a controlled object, corrupting the heap and steering execution. The affected code runs inside Chrome's renderer/browser process on Android; CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome identifies the Chrome application as the affected product, specifically the Android build per the description.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 149.0.7827.155 or later on Android via the Google Play Store, and ensure Chrome auto-updates are enabled so future Stable-channel fixes apply automatically; reference the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_01750511403.html and the Chromium tracker at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/515462244. Because exploitation requires the user to load a crafted HTML page, interim compensating controls include avoiding untrusted links and, in managed fleets, using enterprise policy to enforce the minimum Chrome version and restrict browsing to trusted sites; note these controls reduce but do not eliminate exposure and can disrupt legitimate downloads. Users on Chromium-based builds should apply corresponding Red Hat/SUSE updates as they become available.
