CVE-2026-6316: Use after free in Google Chrome
Use after free in Forms in Google Chrome prior to 147.0.7727.101 allowed a remote attacker 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 Forms functionality of Google Chrome before version 147.0.7727.101. Exploitation requires a remote attacker to deliver a specially crafted HTML page that triggers the flaw, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution inside the sandboxed environment of the browser. The issue was publicly disclosed on April 15, 2026, with a vendor advisory URL referencing a stable channel update, but no direct patch or remediation details are included in the provided data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow remote code execution within the sandboxed context of Google Chrome, which may enable an attacker to run arbitrary code with the privileges of the browser process. This could lead to compromise of user data accessible to the browser or further attacks depending on sandbox escape techniques. However, no known exploits in the wild have been reported at the time of disclosure.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/04/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_15.html for current remediation guidance. Users should update to Chrome version 147.0.7727.101 or later once available. Until then, no specific mitigation steps are provided by the vendor.
