Raised AC to High because exploitation requires a pre-compromised renderer plus winning a use-after-free race; scope changes (S:C) via sandbox escape with full C/I/A impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in USB 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's USB subsystem on macOS (versions prior to 150.0.7871.47) allows an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page. The flaw is a use-after-free (CWE-416) and was reported by Google's own security team; Chromium rated it Medium severity despite the NVD CVSS of 9.6. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, it is not in CISA KEV, and EPSS is low (0.21%, 11th percentile), consistent with a chained/second-stage bug rather than a directly weaponizable entry point.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability lives in Chrome's WebUSB/USB implementation, the browser-side component that brokers access between web content and physical USB devices. A use-after-free (CWE-416) occurs when USB-related object memory is freed but a dangling reference is subsequently reused, letting an attacker corrupt memory in a more-privileged browser process. Because WebUSB device brokering runs outside the renderer sandbox, corrupting it enables a sandbox escape - the renderer's constrained process gains the ability to influence higher-privileged code. The CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome) confirms the affected product is the Chrome application, and the description scopes impact specifically to the macOS build.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.47 or later on macOS via the Chrome Releases stable-channel advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html); Chrome's auto-update will apply this on relaunch, so ensure users fully restart the browser rather than leaving long-lived sessions open. As an interim compensating control until updates propagate, restrict WebUSB exposure via enterprise policy - the DefaultWebUsbGuardSetting policy (set to 2, block) disables sites' access to USB devices, which reduces the attack surface of the USB code path at the cost of breaking legitimate WebUSB applications (e.g., hardware security keys managed via WebUSB, firmware-flashing tools). Because exploitation requires a pre-compromised renderer, maintaining site isolation and prompt patching of any renderer-level RCE bugs is the more impactful control.
