CVE-2026-19176: Use after free in Google Chrome
Use after free in Skia in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.109 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a use-after-free condition in the Skia graphics library used by Google Chrome. An attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can exploit this flaw by crafting a malicious HTML page that triggers arbitrary code execution inside the sandbox environment. The issue affects Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.109. The vendor has published an advisory indicating a stable channel update addressing this issue.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote code execution within the sandboxed renderer process, potentially enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary code. This could lead to further compromise of the browser environment, although the attack requires prior compromise of the renderer process. The vulnerability is rated high severity by Chromium security.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Google Chrome version 151.0.7922.109. Users and administrators should update to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability.
