Remote crafted page (AV:N) with low complexity but required user gestures (UI:R), no auth (PR:N); memory corruption yields total C/I/A impact in a single component (S:U).

Use after free in Views in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)
AnalysisAI
Use-after-free in Google Chrome's Views UI framework prior to 150.0.7871.47 lets a remote attacker trigger heap corruption after luring a user to a crafted HTML page and performing specific UI gestures, potentially achieving code execution in the renderer/browser process. Chromium rates the flaw Critical, though the CVSS is 8.8 due to required user interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low (0.22%, 13th percentile); SSVC lists exploitation as none but technical impact as total.
Technical ContextAI
The bug is a CWE-416 use-after-free in Views, Chromium's cross-platform C++ UI toolkit that renders and manages the browser's widgets, menus, dialogs, and window chrome. A use-after-free occurs when memory is freed while a dangling pointer still references it; if an attacker can control reallocation of that freed region, dereferencing the stale pointer corrupts the heap and can be steered toward controlled execution. Here, specific UI gestures (e.g., interacting with menus/dialogs driven by attacker-controlled page content) desynchronize object lifetime from an outstanding reference. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome, i.e. the desktop Chrome browser across platforms served by the stable channel.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.47 or later on the stable channel (Windows, macOS, Linux) via the built-in updater or by relaunching the browser, per the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html; the issue is tracked at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/516962715. In managed fleets, force the update through enterprise policy and confirm the version to ensure the fix is applied. If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by restricting browsing to trusted sites, since exploitation requires loading a crafted HTML page and performing UI gestures; users of Chromium-based browsers should apply their vendor's equivalent update once the upstream fix is merged. There is no documented feature toggle that disables Views, so patching is the only reliable remediation.
