Exploitability

CWE

KEV

CWE ID	Description
CWE-203	The product behaves differently or sends different responses under different circumstances in a way that is observable to an unauthorized actor.
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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 is a use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome's Animation component. It occurs when a program tries to use memory that has already been freed, potentially allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code within the browser's sandbox by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted HTML page.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome versions prior to 156.0.8078.47. To detect it, check your Chrome version by running chrome://version/ in the browser. If your version is below 156.0.8078.47, the system is vulnerable. Update Chrome to the latest version to mitigate the risk.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to run malicious code on your computer through your web browser. Since it affects Chrome's sandbox, the attacker would have limited access but could still steal data, install malware, or take control of your browser session.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability is a use-after-free issue in Google Chrome's Animation component that allows remote code execution inside the sandbox. Such vulnerabilities could potentially lead to unauthorized data access or manipulation, which may impact compliance with GDPR (data protection) or HIPAA (health data privacy) if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome to version 156.0.8078.47 or later to address the use-after-free vulnerability in Animation.
