Remote unauthenticated network traffic (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N) but a use-after-free race gives AC:H; total system compromise yields C:H/I:H/A:H with unchanged scope.

Use after free in Chromoting in Google Chrome on ChromeOS prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via malicious network traffic. (Chromium security severity: Critical)
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Google Chrome on ChromeOS (versions prior to 150.0.7871.47) stems from a use-after-free in the Chromoting (Chrome Remote Desktop) component, letting a remote attacker corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code through malicious network traffic. Google rates the Chromium severity as Critical, and CVSS scores it 8.1 with a high attack complexity. As of this analysis there is no public exploit identified and it is not listed in CISA KEV; EPSS is low at 0.24% (15th percentile), and SSVC records exploitation status as none.
Technical ContextAI
The flaw is a CWE-416 use-after-free in Chromoting, the code path underpinning Chrome Remote Desktop on ChromeOS. Use-after-free bugs arise when memory is freed but a dangling pointer is later dereferenced; in a networked remoting stack this typically involves object lifetime races between message parsing/session handling and connection teardown, allowing an attacker who controls network traffic to reclaim the freed allocation with attacker-influenced data and hijack control flow. The single affected-CPE entry (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome) reflects Chromium's monolithic versioning even though the description scopes impact to the ChromeOS platform, so the exploitable surface is the Chromoting subsystem rather than the general rendering engine.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 150.0.7871.47 - update Chrome/ChromeOS to 150.0.7871.47 or later per the Google Stable channel advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html); on managed ChromeOS fleets, confirm auto-update is enabled and force a device restart so the new version applies. As a compensating control until devices update, restrict or disable Chrome Remote Desktop / Chromoting via enterprise policy (for example the RemoteAccessHostFirewallTraversal and related remote-access policies) to remove the vulnerable code path from exposure, accepting the trade-off that legitimate remote-support sessions will break; network-side, limit inbound remoting/session traffic to trusted peers to reduce the attacker's ability to deliver malicious traffic. Because AC:H makes reliable exploitation hard, timely patching is the highest-value action and should not be delayed for the workarounds.
