Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a user running an affected version of Google Chrome (prior to 151.0.7922.173) to visit an attacker-controlled or compromised webpage containing a crafted HTML payload (UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.8 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates low-complexity network exploitation requiring only user interaction - a realistic bar given that phishing or malvertising can reliably drive user visits to attacker-controlled pages. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page that manipulates DOM object allocation and deallocation sequences to trigger the use-after-free condition in Chrome's DOM engine. A targeted user is directed to this page via phishing, malvertising, or a compromised website, and upon rendering, the attacker achieves arbitrary code execution within the Chrome renderer sandbox. …
