Remote crafted page needs no auth (PR:N) but requires the victim to open it (UI:R); memory corruption in the renderer yields high C/I/A with no sandbox scope change (S:U).

Uninitialized Use in Dawn in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Heap corruption in Google Chrome's Dawn WebGPU implementation lets a remote attacker who lures a victim to a crafted HTML page potentially achieve memory corruption and code execution in all versions prior to 150.0.7871.47. The flaw stems from use of uninitialized memory (CWE-457) and carries a High Chromium severity with a CVSS 8.8; no public exploit has been identified and EPSS is low (0.23%), and SSVC currently rates exploitation as none. A vendor patch is available in the June 2026 Stable channel update.
Technical ContextAI
Dawn is Chromium's open-source implementation of the WebGPU standard, providing web pages with low-level, hardware-accelerated access to the GPU for compute and rendering. Because WebGPU exposes a large native attack surface reachable directly from untrusted JavaScript/HTML in the renderer, memory-safety bugs in Dawn are high value. The root cause here is CWE-457 (Use of Uninitialized Variable): a memory region or object field is read before it is assigned a defined value, allowing an attacker to influence the uninitialized contents and steer subsequent heap operations, producing heap corruption. The affected component is identified only as Google Chrome (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome), which bundles Dawn across desktop platforms.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.47 or later via the Stable channel update at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html, then relaunch the browser to apply the fix (Chrome updates are staged but require a restart to take effect). In managed environments, push the update through your enterprise update policy rather than relying on user-initiated restarts. As an interim compensating control before patching, restrict WebGPU exposure by disabling the feature (chrome://flags or the enterprise policy governing unsafe/experimental WebGPU/Dawn) or by blocking untrusted browsing, accepting that disabling WebGPU breaks GPU-accelerated web apps and some canvas/compute workloads. Also ensure Chromium-based browsers built on the same engine are updated once their vendors ship the corresponding fix.
