CVE-2026-7349: Use after free in Google Chrome
Use after free in Cast in Google Chrome prior to 147.0.7727.138 allowed an attacker on the local network segment to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via malicious network traffic. (Chromium security severity: High)
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 and involves sending crafted network traffic to trigger arbitrary code execution inside the sandboxed environment of the browser. The CVSS vector indicates that the attack vector is adjacent network (AV:A), with high attack complexity (AC:H), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H).
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker on the local network to execute arbitrary code within the sandboxed process of Chrome, potentially compromising browser security and user data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The impact is rated high due to the ability to execute code remotely without user interaction or privileges, albeit limited to local network attackers.
Mitigation Recommendations
Google has released an official fix in Chrome version 147.0.7727.138. Users and administrators should update affected Chrome installations to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.
