CVE-2026-7349: Use after free in Google Chrome
CVE-2026-7349 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Cast component of Google Chrome versions prior to 147. 0. 7727. 138. This flaw allows an attacker on the local network segment to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via malicious network traffic. The vulnerability is classified with high security severity by Chromium. There is no explicit CVSS score or detailed vendor remediation level provided in the available data. The vendor advisory linked indicates a stable channel update addressing this issue but does not explicitly confirm patch status in the provided input.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a use-after-free condition in the Cast feature of Google Chrome before version 147.0.7727.138. Exploitation requires an attacker to be on the same local network segment, where they can send crafted network traffic to trigger arbitrary code execution within a sandboxed environment. The issue is recognized as high severity by Chromium security. No CVSS score or detailed remediation level is provided in the input data. The vendor advisory URL suggests a stable channel update was released around the publication date, implying a fix may be available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker on the local network to execute arbitrary code inside the sandboxed Cast component of Chrome, potentially leading to compromise of the affected browser instance. The sandboxing limits the scope of impact but does not eliminate the risk of code execution. There are no known exploits in the wild according to the provided data.
Mitigation Recommendations
The vendor advisory linked corresponds to a stable channel update for Chrome around the time of disclosure. While explicit patch status is not confirmed in the input, it is strongly recommended to update Google Chrome to version 147.0.7727.138 or later to address this vulnerability. Users should apply the latest stable updates from Google Chrome promptly. Patch status is not yet confirmed explicitly in the provided data—check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
