Network-delivered via crafted page (AV:N) but needs specific user gestures and heap grooming (AC:H, UI:R), no auth (PR:N); UAF can yield full renderer compromise (C/I/A:H).
vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

Use after free in TabStrip in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Heap corruption in the TabStrip component of Google Chrome desktop before 151.0.7922.72 allows a remote attacker to trigger a use-after-free (CWE-416) when a user is lured to a crafted HTML page and performs specific UI gestures. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution within the renderer process, though Chromium rates the severity as Medium and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the victim to visit an attacker-controlled crafted HTML page in a vulnerable Chrome build (<151.0.7922.72) AND to perform specific UI gestures that drive the TabStrip into the use-after-free state (UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals point to a real-but-not-urgent issue. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page and socially engineers a Chrome user into visiting it and performing particular tab/UI interactions, which trigger the TabStrip use-after-free and corrupt the heap. With careful heap grooming the attacker could turn the dangling pointer into code execution in the browser, but the required user gestures and high complexity make reliable exploitation difficult; no public exploit is identified at time of analysis. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Stable channel; on most installs this happens automatically but should be forced by navigating to chrome://settings/help and relaunching. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
