DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in GetUserMedia in Google Chrome 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: Low)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome's GetUserMedia (media capture) implementation before version 150.0.7871.47 lets a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page. The flaw is a use-after-free (CWE-416) reported by Google's own security team; despite an NVD CVSS of 9.6, Chromium rates its severity Low, and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis with an EPSS of only 0.17% (7th percentile).

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability lives in Chrome's GetUserMedia code path, the Web API (navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia) that brokers access to camera and microphone streams between the sandboxed renderer and the more-privileged browser process. The root cause is a use-after-free (CWE-416): an object tied to a media-capture request is freed while a reference to it remains reachable, letting subsequently controlled memory be reused and manipulated. Because GetUserMedia handling crosses the renderer/browser IPC boundary, a UAF here is a candidate primitive for corrupting browser-process memory, which is why it is characterized as a sandbox-escape rather than a renderer-only bug. The affected component is the Chromium/Blink media stack shared across all Chromium-based desktop builds (cpe would map to cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome).

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 150.0.7871.47 - update to this version or later via Chrome's built-in updater (Help > About Google Chrome) and relaunch the browser so the new binary loads, which is the complete fix and has no functional trade-off. In managed fleets, push the update through your enterprise update policy/MDM and force a browser restart to ensure the patched process is running. Users of other Chromium-based browsers should apply their vendor's build that incorporates the Chromium fix once available. As an interim compensating control, because the flaw is reached through the media-capture API you can restrict or block camera/microphone access via enterprise policy (e.g., set DefaultMediaStreamSetting/VideoCaptureAllowed/AudioCaptureAllowed to blocked), which reduces the GetUserMedia attack surface at the cost of breaking legitimate video-conferencing and voice web apps.
