Network-delivered crafted page (AV:N/AC:L) needs no auth (PR:N) but requires the user to open it (UI:R); a UAF enabling code execution yields high C/I/A within the browser process (S:U).

DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in Views in Google Chrome on Mac prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Heap corruption in Google Chrome for Mac (Views UI component) prior to 151.0.7922.72 allows a remote attacker to potentially exploit a use-after-free by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page. The flaw is a memory-corruption bug that, if successfully leveraged, could lead to arbitrary code execution within the renderer/browser process; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.21%, 11th percentile). Google rates the Chromium security severity as Medium, though the assigned CVSS of 8.8 reflects the full-impact potential typical of browser memory-corruption bugs.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability is a CWE-416 Use-After-Free in Chrome's 'Views' subsystem - the cross-platform UI framework Chromium uses to render browser chrome and widgets (windows, menus, dialogs) on the desktop. A use-after-free occurs when a pointer to freed heap memory is dereferenced, letting an attacker reclaim the freed allocation with attacker-controlled data and corrupt the heap; in a browser this can be steered toward control-flow hijacking. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected product is the Google Chrome application, and the description specifically scopes the issue to the macOS build reached via a crafted HTML page processed by the browser.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later on macOS via the Chrome Releases Stable Channel Update (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html); Chrome normally auto-updates, so ensure the browser is fully closed and relaunched to apply the update, then verify via chrome://settings/help. In managed fleets, push the pinned version through your MDM/enterprise update policy to force compliance. Until updating is confirmed, reduce exposure by advising users to avoid untrusted links and, if your environment supports it, enable Chrome's Enhanced Safe Browsing to add heuristic blocking of malicious pages; note this does not eliminate the underlying flaw and only reduces the odds of encountering a weaponized page. No effective feature-level workaround is documented for a UAF in the Views component, so patching is the authoritative fix.
