Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Chromecast in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.182 allowed a local attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via malicious network traffic. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome's Chromecast component allows a local attacker with low privileges to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox by sending malicious network traffic. Affects Chrome versions prior to 150.0.7871.182. EPSS 0.1% and no KEV listing suggest low real-world exploitation risk despite the high-severity CVSS 7.8 score.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability exists in Chromecast, a component that handles screen mirroring and casting via network protocols within the Chrome browser. It arises from insufficient validation of untrusted input (CWE-20) when processing network traffic. An attacker who can inject crafted data can exploit the lack of proper sanitization to break out of the browser's sandbox. The affected product is identified by CPE as Google Chrome, and the flaw is specific to the Chromecast functionality.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.182 or later. The update is available via the browser's built-in update mechanism or from the official blog advisory. As a temporary mitigation, users may disable or restrict Chromecast functionality in Chrome settings, though this will prevent the use of casting features. No other workarounds are documented.
