Integer overflow in Chromium in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker to read memory inside the sandbox via a crafted file. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

Integer overflow (CWE-190) in Chromium's file-processing code exposes all desktop Google Chrome versions prior to 152.0.7977.65 to in-sandbox memory disclosure when a user opens a specially crafted file, requiring no authentication (PR:N) but requiring user interaction (UI:R). A critical data conflict across sources warrants attention: the NVD CVSS score is 8.8 with C:H/I:H/A:H, yet Google's Chromium team rates this Low severity, and the EPSS is 0.16% (5th percentile) with SSVC Exploitation:none - collectively suggesting the attack impact is bounded to memory readable within the sandboxed renderer, without sandbox escape. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Deliver crafted file to Chrome user
Delivery
User opens file in Chrome browser
Exploit
Integer overflow triggered in Chromium file-format parser
Execution
Out-of-bounds read within renderer sandbox
Impact
Leak in-sandbox memory contents to attacker

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to open a specially crafted file in Google Chrome - CVSS UI:R confirms this active user-interaction prerequisite, meaning drive-by exploitation without file-open interaction is not indicated. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Multiple intelligence signals conflict in this case, and the discrepancy itself is the most important risk signal. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malicious file containing integer values designed to overflow a size or length field in a Chromium file-format parser. The file is delivered to the target - via a malicious web page, email attachment, or shared document - and the victim opens it in Chrome, triggering the integer overflow in the sandboxed renderer process and enabling an out-of-bounds memory read. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later - this is the vendor-confirmed fix version per the stable channel 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.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: notify all Chrome users and IT staff of the vulnerability and direct them to the available patch. …
