CVE-2026-95372: Use after free in Google Chrome
Use after free in Chromecast in Google Chrome prior to 154.0.8037.57 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a use-after-free condition in the Chromecast functionality within Google Chrome versions before 154.0.8037.57. Exploitation requires that the attacker already compromise the renderer process, after which they can potentially execute arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox via a specially crafted HTML page. The issue was publicly disclosed and fixed in the stable update 154.0.8037.57.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution outside the sandbox, increasing the attacker's control over the affected system. This elevates the risk of system compromise beyond the browser sandbox boundaries.
Mitigation Recommendations
Google has released an official fix in Chrome version 154.0.8037.57. Users and administrators should update to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.
