CVE-2026-7333: Use after free in Google Chrome
Use after free in GPU in Google Chrome prior to 147.0.7727.138 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a use-after-free condition in the GPU process of Google Chrome before version 147.0.7727.138. Exploiting this flaw could enable a remote attacker to perform a sandbox escape, which is a significant security breach allowing code execution beyond the browser's restricted environment. The vulnerability requires user interaction (UI:R) and can be triggered via a specially crafted HTML page. The CVSS vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and complete impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to a sandbox escape, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges outside the browser sandbox. This compromises the security boundaries designed to isolate web content, potentially leading to full system compromise. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Google has released an official fix in Chrome version 147.0.7727.138. Users and administrators should update to this version or later to mitigate the vulnerability. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on applying the browser update. No additional vendor advisories indicate alternative mitigations or that no action is required.
