DescriptionCVE.org

Heap buffer overflow in WebRTC in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 149.0.7827.155 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Google Chrome on Windows (versions prior to 149.0.7827.155) allows a remote attacker to run arbitrary code within the browser process by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page that triggers a heap buffer overflow in the WebRTC component. Rated High severity by Chromium and scored CVSS 8.8, it requires user interaction (visiting a malicious page) but no authentication. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low at 0.40% and CISA SSVC records exploitation status as 'none'.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw resides in WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication), the browser subsystem that enables peer-to-peer audio, video, and data channels directly from web pages without plugins. WebRTC parses and processes attacker-influenceable media and signaling data (SDP, RTP/RTCP packets, codec streams), making it a recurring source of memory-safety bugs. The root cause is CWE-122 (Heap-Based Buffer Overflow): data is written past the bounds of a heap-allocated buffer, corrupting adjacent heap memory. In a C++ codebase like Chromium's WebRTC, such corruption can be groomed to overwrite object pointers or function tables and redirect execution. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome, specifically the Windows desktop builds prior to 149.0.7827.155.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 149.0.7827.155 or later on Windows via the Chrome Releases stable channel update (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_01750511403.html); Chrome's built-in updater applies this automatically on relaunch, so verify the version under chrome://settings/help and force a browser restart across the fleet to ensure the new binary is loaded. If immediate patching is not possible, a targeted compensating control is to disable or restrict WebRTC - for example via enterprise policy to limit WebRTC usage or block WebRTC where not needed - which removes the vulnerable code path but breaks browser-based audio/video conferencing (Google Meet, Teams-in-browser, etc.); an alternative interim control is restricting browsing to trusted sites and enforcing web filtering to reduce exposure to attacker-controlled HTML pages. For Chromium derivatives (Edge, and Red Hat/SUSE-packaged browsers), apply the corresponding vendor updates as they become available.
