Network-delivered crafted page needs no privileges (PR:N) but requires the victim to open it (UI:R); sandbox escape justifies scope change (S:C) with full C/I/A impact.

Use after free in FedCM in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker leveraging social engineering to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox-escaping remote code execution in Google Chrome's FedCM (Federated Credential Management) component affects all desktop builds prior to 152.0.7977.65. A remote attacker who lures a victim to a crafted HTML page can trigger a use-after-free (CWE-416) and execute arbitrary code outside the renderer sandbox, giving full control of the browser process. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to actively open an attacker-controlled crafted HTML page that exercises Chrome's FedCM code path (UI:R in the CVSS vector) - so user interaction via social engineering is the mandatory precondition and the primary limiting factor; there is no authentication requirement (PR:N) and no special server-side privilege. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals partially conflict and should be weighed together rather than read from the 9.6 alone. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker registers or compromises a web page and entices a target to open it (phishing link, malicious ad, or watering-hole). The page invokes FedCM in a way that triggers the use-after-free, and with heap grooming the attacker gains code execution outside the Chrome sandbox on the victim's machine. …
