Requires a pre-compromised renderer (PR:L) and non-trivial UAF timing (AC:H) plus user interaction; sandbox escape crosses a trust boundary (S:C) with full host impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in DataTransfer in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome on Windows before 151.0.7922.72 lets a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process leverage a use-after-free in the DataTransfer component (clipboard/drag-and-drop data) to break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page. Rated High by Chromium with a CVSS 9.6 driven by scope change and full CIA impact, though EPSS is low (0.29%) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to have ALREADY compromised the Chrome renderer process - this is a sandbox-escape/second-stage bug, not an initial-access vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 9.6 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects the scope-changing sandbox-escape impact, but the raw score overstates standalone risk because exploitation presupposes the attacker has already compromised the renderer - a prerequisite the CVSS PR:N metric does not capture. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker first achieves code execution inside Chrome's renderer via a separate vulnerability, then serves a crafted HTML page that manipulates clipboard/drag-and-drop DataTransfer objects to trigger the use-after-free and corrupt memory in the browser process. With user interaction (e.g., interacting with the page), the attacker escapes the renderer sandbox to gain higher-privileged execution on the Windows host. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: 151.0.7922.72 - update Google Chrome on Windows to 151.0.7922.72 or later, per the Chrome Stable Channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
