Exploitability

CWE

KEV

CWE ID	Description
CWE-863	The product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check.
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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 CredentialProvider component of Google Chrome on Windows. 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 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. Detection involves checking the installed Chrome version. On Windows, you can run: chrome://version/ in the browser address bar or check via command line with 'wmic product where name="Google Chrome" get version'. If the version is below 156.0.8078.47, the system is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to run malicious code on your computer, potentially stealing data, installing malware, or taking control of your system. Since it affects Chrome's sandbox, the attacker would need to bypass additional security measures to cause harm.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox via crafted HTML pages. Such arbitrary code execution could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, which may violate GDPR's data protection principles or HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information.

Mitigation Strategies

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