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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 Google Chrome's Navigation component. It allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted HTML page. The flaw occurs when the browser improperly handles freed memory, leading to potential code execution with high privileges.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome versions prior to 155.0.8059.39. Detection involves checking the installed Chrome version. On Windows, run: wmic product where "name like 'Google Chrome'" get version. On Linux, run: google-chrome --version. If the version is below 155.0.8059.39, the system is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow an attacker to run malicious code on your device, potentially stealing data, installing malware, or taking control of your system. Since it affects Chrome's sandboxing, the attacker could bypass security restrictions to perform harmful actions.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code outside 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 to address the use-after-free vulnerability in Navigation.
