Network-delivered crafted page with UI:R and high complexity; S:C and C/I/A:H reflect a total sandbox escape; PR:N retained per NVD though a prior renderer compromise is practically required.

Integer overflow in Chromecast in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 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's Chromecast component allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox and gain broader host access via a crafted HTML page. Affects Chrome desktop versions prior to 150.0.7871.47, rated High by Chromium with a CVSS of 8.3. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low at 0.21% (11th percentile) and CISA SSVC records exploitation as none.
Technical ContextAI
The flaw lives in Chrome's Chromecast media-casting code path, which handles device discovery and streaming to Cast receivers. The root cause is an integer overflow: an arithmetic operation on attacker-influenced sizes or offsets wraps past its type bounds, corrupting a subsequent length/index calculation and enabling memory corruption used to escape the renderer sandbox. The CPE identifies the affected product as cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome (all versions below the fixed build). Note a taxonomy discrepancy: the description and 'Buffer Overflow'/integer-overflow signal point to a memory-safety issue, while the assigned CWE-472 (External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter) does not describe an integer overflow - the description should be treated as authoritative and the CWE mapping as likely imprecise.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 150.0.7871.47 - upgrade Chrome to 150.0.7871.47 or later on all desktop platforms and restart the browser to apply, per the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html). Because Chrome auto-updates, confirm the update actually installed via chrome://settings/help and enforce a browser restart, since staged updates do not take effect until relaunch. For managed fleets, push the minimum-version policy through your update-management channel and verify downstream rebuilds (e.g., SUSE-packaged Chromium) have picked up the fix. As an interim compensating control on unpatched endpoints, restrict or disable media-casting (Cast to device) functionality to shrink exposure of the vulnerable Chromecast code path - trade-off is loss of screen/tab casting for users; this only reduces, not eliminates, risk and is no substitute for the update. Standard renderer-hardening (site isolation, keeping sandbox enabled) raises the bar for the prerequisite renderer compromise.
