Severity by source
Sources disagree (Medium–Critical)AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Requires a prior renderer compromise (PR:H) plus reliable UAF grooming and a victim page-load (AC:H, UI:R); a successful escape changes scope and fully compromises the browser process (S:C, C/I/A:H).
vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

Use after free in Bluetooth in Google Chrome on Mac 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 on macOS (versions prior to 150.0.7871.47) arises from a use-after-free in the browser's Bluetooth component, letting an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out of the sandbox and reach the higher-privileged browser process via a crafted HTML page. This is a second-stage exploitation primitive rather than an initial-access flaw, which is why Google rates the Chromium severity as Medium despite the 9.6 CVSS. No public exploit has been identified, there is no CISA KEV listing, and EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.21%, 11th percentile).
Technical ContextAI
The issue is a CWE-416 use-after-free in Chrome's Bluetooth stack (Web Bluetooth / device backend) as implemented on macOS. A use-after-free occurs when memory is freed but a dangling pointer to it is later dereferenced, allowing an attacker who controls heap allocation to reclaim the freed region and influence program flow. Because the vulnerable code path executes in the privileged browser process rather than the sandboxed renderer, corrupting it from a compromised renderer crosses the sandbox boundary - captured by the CVSS scope change (S:C). The single affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome, and the vendor scopes the defect specifically to the Mac platform.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome on macOS to 150.0.7871.47 or later via the Stable channel update described at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html, then relaunch the browser so the new binary is loaded, since Chrome applies updates on restart. There is no supported configuration-only workaround because the flaw lives in the browser process; however, because the bug is in the Bluetooth backend, managed environments can reduce exposure by disabling Web Bluetooth through enterprise policy (set DefaultWebBluetoothGuardSetting to block access) - the trade-off is that any legitimate site or internal tool relying on Web Bluetooth will stop working. Since exploitation also requires a prior renderer compromise, keeping Chrome fully current to close renderer-side RCEs is the most effective compensating control.
