Exploitability

CWE

KEV

CWE ID	Description
CWE-416	The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a use-after-free issue in the Bindings component of Google Chrome. A use-after-free occurs when a program continues to use a pointer after the memory it points to has been freed, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. In this case, a remote attacker could exploit this by crafting a malicious HTML page to trigger the flaw, allowing them to execute arbitrary code within the browser's sandbox.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome versions prior to 155.0.8059.39. To detect it, check your Chrome version by running chrome://version/ in the browser address bar. If your version is below 155.0.8059.39, the system is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to run malicious code on your device through a specially crafted webpage. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, installation of malware, or other malicious activities while bypassing the browser's sandbox protections.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox via crafted HTML pages, which could lead to unauthorized data access or manipulation. Such code execution risks may violate GDPR's integrity and confidentiality requirements or HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome to version 155.0.8059.39 or later immediately. This can be done via the browser's built-in update mechanism or by downloading the latest version from Google's official site.
