DescriptionCVE.org

Inappropriate implementation in AdFilter in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Sandboxed arbitrary code execution in Google Chrome's AdFilter component (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 on desktop) allows a remote attacker to run code inside the renderer sandbox by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page. Rated Medium by Chromium and CVSS 8.8 by NVD, the flaw requires user interaction (visiting a malicious site) but no authentication; execution is confined to the sandbox rather than achieving full host compromise. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low at 0.26% (17th percentile).

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability lives in Chrome's AdFilter subsystem, part of the browser's content/ad-blocking and filtering logic that parses and acts on attacker-influenced HTML/DOM content within the renderer process. It is classified as CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management), meaning the component mishandles a privilege or trust boundary such that attacker-controlled page content can drive code execution within the renderer's security context. The affected component runs inside Chrome's multi-process sandbox, so the described 'arbitrary code execution inside a sandbox' means the attacker gains code execution in the constrained renderer rather than in the higher-privileged browser or OS context - a meaningful limitation that aligns with Chromium's 'Medium' internal severity despite the high NVD CVSS.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later on the desktop Stable channel, per the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html); relaunch the browser to complete the update since Chrome staging does not apply until restart. In managed fleets, push the update via enterprise policy or your patch-management tooling and force a browser relaunch to ensure the patched binary is loaded. No standalone workaround is provided by the vendor for the AdFilter defect itself; as interim compensating controls until the update is deployed, restrict browsing to trusted sites and use web/DNS filtering to block untrusted or newly-registered domains (trade-off: does not stop malicious content on otherwise-trusted or compromised sites), and ensure OS-level and site-isolation sandbox protections remain enabled since the flaw is sandbox-contained and site isolation raises the bar for a full escape. Verify Chromium-based derivatives against their own vendor advisories and update them accordingly.
