Sandbox escape justifies S:C and C:H/I:H/A:H; UI:R because the victim must install the crafted extension; PR:N as no host authentication is needed, though the extension-install barrier is real.

Use after free in Extensions in Google Chrome prior to 153.0.8010.52 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted Chrome extension. (Chromium security severity: High)
Articles & Coverage 1
AnalysisAI
Use-after-free in Google Chrome's Extensions component allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox on any desktop build prior to 153.0.8010.52, provided the victim loads a crafted, attacker-controlled extension. The flaw carries a 9.6 CVSS score (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), meaning no prior authentication to the target is needed, but the attacker must still persuade the user to install or load a malicious extension, which is the real-world limiting factor; the sandbox-scope change (S:C) reflects code execution escaping Chrome's renderer/extensions sandbox. …
