DescriptionCVE.org

Uninitialized Use in Media in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Uninitialized memory exposure in Google Chrome's Media component allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to read potentially sensitive data from process memory by serving a crafted HTML page. Affected versions are all Chrome releases prior to 150.0.7871.47, across desktop platforms. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Lure victim to attacker-controlled page
Delivery
Exploit separate renderer vulnerability
Exploit
Achieve renderer process code execution
Execution
Serve crafted media element
Persist
Trigger uninitialized buffer read in Media component
Impact
Exfiltrate leaked process memory

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two sequential conditions: first, the attacker must have already compromised the Chrome renderer process via a separate, unrelated vulnerability (this is explicitly stated in the description as a prerequisite - 'remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process'). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 (Medium) is consistent with the attack profile: AV:N captures delivery via network-hosted HTML, AC:H reflects the substantial prerequisite of a pre-compromised renderer, UI:R requires the victim to visit the attacker-controlled page, and C:H acknowledges that arbitrary process memory disclosure is a serious confidentiality breach. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has already leveraged a separate Chrome renderer exploit to achieve code execution within the renderer sandbox serves a crafted HTML page containing a malicious media element that triggers the uninitialized buffer read in the Media subsystem. The uninitialized memory contents - which may include heap data from prior allocations such as credentials, tokens, or other sensitive in-process data - are exfiltrated back to the attacker. …
Remediation Upgrade to Google Chrome version 150.0.7871.47 or later, available via Chrome's built-in auto-update mechanism or directly from the Chrome releases blog at chromereleases.googleblog.com (June 2026 Stable Channel update). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
