CVE-2026-7350: Use after free in Google Chrome
Use after free in WebMIDI in Google Chrome prior to 147.0.7727.138 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process 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 WebMIDI implementation of Google Chrome before version 147.0.7727.138. Exploitation requires prior compromise of the renderer process and could lead to sandbox escape, increasing the attacker's privileges beyond the renderer sandbox. The issue was publicly disclosed and patched by Google in a stable channel update.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker with control over the renderer process to escape the Chrome sandbox, potentially leading to greater system compromise. This elevates the risk from a renderer compromise to a more severe security breach.
Mitigation Recommendations
Google has released an official stable channel update for Chrome version 147.0.7727.138 that addresses this vulnerability. Users and administrators should update to this version or later to remediate the issue. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory. No additional mitigations are indicated.
