DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.46 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary code execution in the V8 JavaScript engine of Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.46 lets a remote attacker run code inside the renderer sandbox after luring a victim to a crafted HTML page and getting them to perform specific UI gestures. Rated High by Chromium, it carries CVSS 7.5 (AC:H/UI:R) reflecting the required user interaction and attack complexity. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low (0.21%, 11th percentile), consistent with SSVC exploitation status of 'none'.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw is a use-after-free (CWE-416) in V8, the C++ JavaScript/WebAssembly engine that Chrome uses to execute web-page script. Use-after-free bugs arise when the engine continues to reference heap memory that has already been freed, allowing an attacker who controls heap layout to place attacker-controlled data where a stale pointer is dereferenced, corrupting object state and steering execution. Because JavaScript execution is driven directly by untrusted web content, a malicious page can script the precise allocation/free sequences needed to reach the vulnerable state. The affected component (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome) is the desktop Chrome browser; the same V8 codebase is shared by Chromium-derived browsers and by downstream distributions (the SUSE tag reflects such repackaging).

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.46 or later via the Stable channel update (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html); confirm by relaunching Chrome so the update applies, since the fix is inert until the browser restarts. In managed fleets, push the updated build through your enterprise update policy and verify version compliance. Because exploitation requires loading a malicious page and specific user interaction, interim compensating controls are effective: restrict browsing via URL/web filtering to block untrusted sites, and consider enabling Chrome's Site Isolation and 'Enhanced Safe Browsing' to raise the exploitation bar - trade-off is minor performance/UX overhead and occasional false-positive site warnings. Users of Chromium-based browsers should apply their vendor's corresponding update once available.
