Use after free in Blink in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.137 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Use-after-free in Blink, Google Chrome's rendering engine, allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code within the browser sandbox by delivering a crafted HTML page. All Chrome releases prior to 151.0.7922.137 are confirmed affected. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 8.8 score and memory corruption class reflect serious exploitation potential.

Technical ContextAI

Blink is Chrome's HTML/CSS rendering engine, forked from WebKit. CWE-416 (Use After Free) describes a class of memory corruption bugs where freed heap memory is accessed again, allowing attackers to control dangling pointers and redirect execution. In browser rendering engines, UAF vulnerabilities frequently arise in DOM node lifecycle management, garbage collection races, or event handler teardown. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all Chrome desktop variants across platforms. Exploitation lands code inside the browser's renderer sandbox, meaning a second sandbox escape would be needed for full OS compromise - but renderer-level RCE is itself a significant capability enabling further attacks.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.137 or later immediately; this is a vendor-confirmed patch documented at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_01815628406.html. Chrome's auto-update mechanism will apply this for most users, but enterprise deployments using managed update channels should force the update via policy. As a compensating control prior to patching, consider enabling Enhanced Safe Browsing to reduce delivery of malicious pages, and restrict browsing to trusted sites via URL filtering in corporate proxy environments - though neither control eliminates the risk of a crafted page reaching the browser. Chromium-based browsers should be updated to versions incorporating the same upstream Blink fix once available from their respective vendors.
