DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in Device in Google Chrome on Windows 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: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome's Device component on Windows (versions prior to 150.0.7871.47) lets an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page, exploiting a use-after-free (CWE-416). Google rates the Chromium security severity as Medium, reflecting that it is a second-stage bug requiring prior renderer compromise, though the NVD CVSS of 9.6 is inflated by the sandbox scope change. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low (0.21%), indicating no current sign of widespread exploitation.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw resides in Chrome's 'Device' subsystem (device-related Blink/browser APIs such as WebUSB/WebHID/device enumeration bridging the renderer and privileged browser process) and is a use-after-free - CWE-416 - where memory is freed but a dangling pointer is later dereferenced, allowing an attacker to reclaim the freed allocation with controlled data and corrupt object state. Because the vulnerable code path executes across the renderer/browser sandbox boundary, controlled reuse of the freed object can yield code execution in the more-privileged browser process, achieving a sandbox escape. The EUVD/CPE data scopes this strictly to Google Chrome builds below 150.0.7871.47 on Windows; other platforms are not indicated in the provided data.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.47 or later on Windows via the Chrome stable channel, then fully restart the browser so the new binary loads (Chrome auto-updates but requires a relaunch to apply). The authoritative advisory is the Chrome Releases post at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. There is no standalone configuration workaround for a use-after-free memory bug, so patching is the only reliable fix; if immediate patching is not possible, reduce chainability by enforcing that Chrome is not run with a disabled sandbox (never use --no-sandbox) and by deploying site-isolation and strict update policies via enterprise management, accepting that these only raise the bar for the prerequisite renderer compromise rather than eliminating this specific bug. Restricting access to untrusted web content or device-access web APIs where feasible further limits exposure but does not remediate the underlying flaw.
