DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in Blink in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.197 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Google Chrome's Blink rendering engine (versions prior to 149.0.7827.197) allows a remote attacker to run arbitrary code within the renderer sandbox by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page. The flaw is a use-after-free (CWE-416) rated High by Chromium with a CVSS of 8.8; it requires user interaction (visiting a malicious page) but no authentication. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, with the CISA SSVC framework recording exploitation status as none.

Technical ContextAI

Blink is the open-source rendering engine used by Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, and downstream Edge, Brave, Opera, Electron apps) to parse and render HTML, CSS, and the DOM. The root cause is a use-after-free (CWE-416): a memory object is freed while a dangling pointer still references it, and subsequent access to that stale pointer lets an attacker manipulate freed heap memory. In a renderer like Blink, attacker-controlled JavaScript/HTML can groom the heap to reoccupy the freed allocation with controlled data, converting the dangling reference into a controlled read/write primitive and ultimately code execution. Per the CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome) the affected component is the Chrome browser application itself; the description scopes the resulting code execution to inside the sandbox rather than a full host compromise.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 149.0.7827.197 - update Google Chrome to 149.0.7827.197 or later via the Chrome Releases stable channel update (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0482630350.html), then fully relaunch the browser to apply the new build since Chrome only loads the updated binary after a restart. Users of Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera) should apply the equivalent vendor update once it ships the corresponding Blink fix. As an interim compensating control before patching, restrict exposure by avoiding untrusted links and enabling site isolation (default in Chrome), and where feasible deploy enterprise policies to enforce auto-update; note that disabling JavaScript would reduce the renderer attack surface but breaks the modern web and is generally impractical. The Chromium issue tracker reference is https://issues.chromium.org/issues/523711130 (details may remain restricted until broad patch uptake).
