DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in DOM 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: High)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Google Chrome desktop versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 arises from a use-after-free in the DOM implementation, letting a remote attacker who lures a victim to a crafted HTML page run arbitrary code within the renderer sandbox. The flaw was reported internally by the Chrome team, rated High by Chromium, and carries CVSS 8.8; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low at 0.35% (28th percentile). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to load attacker-controlled HTML in a vulnerable Chrome build (before 151.0.7922.72) - user interaction (UI:R) in the form of visiting or being redirected to a malicious/compromised page is mandatory, so this is not a zero-click drive-by against a passive target. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H = 8.8 High) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack that requires user interaction (visiting a malicious page) and does not cross a privilege/scope boundary - consistent with the description's note that code runs 'inside a sandbox.' This is a meaningful contrast: the raw score is high, but Scope:Unchanged plus sandboxed execution means a single bug here does not by itself yield host takeover without a chained sandbox escape. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts or compromises a web page containing crafted HTML/JavaScript that manipulates DOM objects to trigger the use-after-free, then delivers it via a phishing link, malvertising, or a watering-hole site. When a victim running a pre-151.0.7922.72 Chrome build visits the page (the required user interaction), the dangling pointer is exploited to gain code execution inside the renderer sandbox. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later on all desktop platforms per the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html); restart the browser to complete the update since Chrome staged updates do not take effect until relaunch. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, notify IT and device management teams to assess Chrome deployment scope and communicate security alert to end-users emphasizing browsing safety while patches roll out. …
