Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the victim to load a crafted HTML page in a vulnerable Chrome build prior to 155.0.8059.39 (UI:R - user interaction via visiting attacker-controlled content). No authentication or special configuration is needed (PR:N), and default Chrome installations are affected. The key limiting factor is that resulting code execution is confined to the renderer sandbox (S:U) - the description specifies execution 'inside the sandbox,' so a separate sandbox-escape vulnerability would be required to compromise the underlying host, significantly constraining standalone impact.

Impact

This is a genuine high-priority issue despite the absence of confirmed exploitation signals. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 8.8) describes a remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw requiring only that a victim visit a crafted HTML page, with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact - a classic browser drive-by profile. The CWE-416 use-after-free in the Parser is the single most weaponized bug class in modern browsers and Chromium rates it High severity. No CISA KEV listing and no public POC were provided, so there is no evidence of active or imminent exploitation yet; EPSS and SSVC data were not supplied in the input and cannot be assessed. The signals are therefore consistent rather than conflicting: high theoretical severity, patch already shipped, but no confirmation of real-world exploitation at time of analysis. Note the scope limitation - the description explicitly states code executes 'inside the sandbox,' meaning this is NOT a sandbox escape (S:U), so a second vulnerability would be required to reach the host. This materially lowers real-world impact versus a full RCE and should temper urgency slightly, though browser UAF bugs are frequently chained and historically exploited, so patching should not be deferred.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker hosts or compromises a web page containing malicious HTML crafted to trigger the use-after-free in Chrome's parser, then lures a victim to visit it (phishing link, malvertising, or watering hole). When the victim's browser parses the page, the freed object is reused and the attacker gains arbitrary code execution within the renderer sandbox. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data, and exploitation requires the user to open the page (UI:R).

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026

Use-after-free in Google Chrome's parser allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code within the browser's renderer sandbox by convincing a victim to visit a crafted HTML page. All Chrome builds prior to 155.0.8059.39 are affected, and exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R) but no authentication (PR:N). The flaw carries a High Chromium severity rating (CVSS 8.8) and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; however, standalone impact is constrained because the description specifies code execution 'inside the sandbox,' meaning a second vulnerability would be needed to escape to the host.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Google Chrome 155.0.8059.39 or later; a vendor-released patch is available. The update can be applied through the browser's built-in updater (chrome://settings/help) or by deploying the latest package from Google's official release channels. No specific workarounds are documented; because exploitation requires loading a crafted page, disabling JavaScript or using a strict content-blocking extension may reduce exposure but breaks normal functionality and is not a substitute for patching. Enterprise administrators should force-update managed Chrome instances and monitor the Chromium issue tracker (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/557729858) for further details. The renderer sandbox limits standalone impact, but the flaw should still be treated as high priority given the possibility of being chained with a sandbox escape.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This is a use-after-free (CWE-416) in Chrome's HTML parser, which is part of the Blink rendering engine. UAF vulnerabilities occur when the parser frees a memory object but continues to reference it, allowing an attacker to control the contents of that freed memory through heap grooming and redirect program execution. The CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring the victim to load attacker-controlled content, with no privileges needed; the scope is unchanged (S:U) because code execution is confined to the renderer sandbox. CPE data (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) identifies Google Chrome across all platform variants as the sole affected product, and the associated Chromium issue (557729858) along with the stable channel release notes document the fix.

DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in Parser in Google Chrome prior to 155.0.8059.39 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome's HTML parser (CVE-2026-106193, CVSS 8.8) could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code inside the browser's renderer sandbox on any Chrome build older than 155.0.8059.39. Exploitation requires only that a user open a crafted web page - no authentication, no credentials, and no elevated privileges - so the potential exposure covers every Chrome user in the organization, including remote, contractor, and BYOD populations that are hardest to patch. Standalone impact is bounded because the code execution occurs within the sandbox and would require a second, chained flaw to reach the host operating system, but browser-based attacks remain a primary initial-access path and unmanaged or delayed browser updates represent the main source of residual risk.

Attack Technique

Use-after-free vulnerabilities occur when a program continues to access memory through a pointer after that memory has been deallocated.

Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
