CVE-2026-9893: Use after free in Google Chrome
Use after free in Skia in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.216 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a use-after-free condition in the Skia graphics library within Google Chrome before version 148.0.7778.216. Exploiting this flaw requires prior compromise of the renderer process and could enable an attacker to break out of the sandbox environment, increasing the severity of an attack originating from malicious web content. The issue was publicly disclosed on May 28, 2026, with a vendor advisory published by Google. No CVSS score is provided, and remediation details are not explicitly stated in the input data.
Potential Impact
If successfully exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker with control over the renderer process to escape the sandbox, potentially leading to greater system compromise beyond the browser. This elevates the risk associated with renderer process compromises by enabling privilege escalation or arbitrary code execution outside the sandbox. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0877304591.html for current remediation guidance. Users and administrators should monitor this advisory for updates and apply any official fixes once available. Until a patch is confirmed, avoid visiting untrusted websites and consider restricting renderer process privileges where possible.
