AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Remote crafted page with no auth (AV:N/PR:N) but requires the victim to visit it (UI:R); sandbox escape crosses a trust boundary (S:C) enabling full code execution (C/I/A:H).

Use after free in Views in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker leveraging social engineering to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox-escaping remote code execution in Google Chrome (desktop) before 152.0.7977.65 stems from a use-after-free in the Views UI framework, letting a remote attacker who lures a victim to a crafted HTML page potentially run arbitrary code outside the renderer sandbox. The flaw carries a CVSS 9.6 with scope change, though Google rated the Chromium security severity only Medium; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and SSVC lists exploitation as none. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the victim to actively visit or load an attacker-controlled crafted HTML page (CVSS UI:R plus the description's 'leveraging social engineering'), so it is not a no-interaction drive-by against a passive target and cannot self-propagate without user action. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are notably in tension and should be weighed together rather than taken at face value. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious web page that manipulates Chrome's heap and triggers the use-after-free in Views, then socially engineers a target - via phishing email, malicious ad, or a lookalike link - into visiting it. When the victim loads the page, the freed memory is reclaimed with attacker-controlled data, potentially yielding code execution in the browser process outside the renderer sandbox. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: 152.0.7977.65 - update Chrome to 152.0.7977.65 or later via the Stable channel and restart the browser to apply the fix (navigate to chrome://settings/help to trigger and confirm the update), per the Chrome release advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
