DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in Browser in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.155 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome desktop before 149.0.7827.155 lets an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process leverage a use-after-free in the privileged Browser process to break out of the renderer sandbox via a crafted HTML page. Rated High by Chromium and CVSS 8.3, it is a second-stage exploitation primitive rather than a standalone entry point. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low (0.27%), consistent with SSVC exploitation status of 'none'.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw is a CWE-416 use-after-free in Chrome's Browser process, the high-privilege broker that mediates access to the OS on behalf of sandboxed renderer processes in Chromium's multi-process architecture. A use-after-free occurs when a pointer to freed heap memory is reused, allowing an attacker who controls heap layout to overwrite the freed object and hijack a subsequent dereference. Because the Browser process runs outside the renderer sandbox, corrupting its memory is a path to sandbox escape. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*, covering the Chrome desktop application across platforms; Red Hat and SUSE tags indicate downstream Linux distribution rebuilds are also affected.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.155; upgrade all desktop Chrome installations to 149.0.7827.155 or later, per the Chrome Releases advisory at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_01750511403.html. Ensure Chrome auto-update is enabled and force a relaunch so the update takes effect, and apply corresponding vendor updates for Chromium-based browsers and Red Hat/SUSE packages once published. There is no product-specific configuration workaround for the underlying use-after-free; because exploitation requires a compromised renderer first, defense-in-depth compensating controls while patching include enabling the Site Isolation and strict site-per-process defaults (already on by default), deploying enterprise policies to restrict untrusted extensions and risky content, and prioritizing patching of any paired renderer-side vulnerabilities - with the trade-off that these reduce but do not eliminate the sandbox-escape risk.
