DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in Media in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.155 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary code execution in Google Chrome's Media component (versions prior to 149.0.7827.155) lets an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process run code within the sandbox by serving a crafted HTML page. Rated High by Chromium and CVSS 7.5, the flaw is a use-after-free (CWE-416); there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, it is not in CISA KEV, and EPSS is low (0.37%, 28th percentile), consistent with the SSVC 'Exploitation: none' status. In practice it functions as a second-stage bug useful for extending a renderer foothold rather than an initial-access vulnerability.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability sits in Chrome's Media subsystem, which handles decoding and playback of audio/video content delivered through HTML (e.g., <video>/<audio> elements and associated media pipelines). CWE-416 (Use After Free) means a memory object in the media pipeline is freed but a dangling pointer is subsequently dereferenced, allowing an attacker who controls heap layout to reclaim the freed allocation and steer execution. The single affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, i.e., the Chrome desktop browser; because Chromium is the shared engine, downstream Chromium-based browsers and Red Hat/SUSE Chromium packages (reflected in the tags) inherit the same defect until they rebase to a fixed engine.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 149.0.7827.155 - upgrade Google Chrome to 149.0.7827.155 or later and restart the browser to load the new binary (Chrome auto-updates but requires a relaunch to apply), per the Chrome Stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_01750511403.html. For Chromium-based distributions, apply the corresponding Red Hat/SUSE Chromium package updates once published. Where immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure to the initial renderer compromise this bug depends on by keeping Chrome's site isolation enabled (default) and enforcing enterprise auto-update policies so relaunches are not deferred, and restrict rendering of untrusted media/HTML content; note that broadly blocking media playback would break legitimate sites, so prioritize the patch over content-blocking workarounds.
