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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
CWE-843	The product allocates or initializes a resource such as a pointer, object, or variable using one type, but it later accesses that resource using a type that is incompatible with the original type.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This is a use-after-free vulnerability in V8, the JavaScript engine used by Google Chrome. It occurs when a program tries to use memory that has already been freed, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution within the browser's sandbox. An attacker could exploit this by crafting a malicious HTML page that triggers the flaw.

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://settings/help in the browser. If your version is below 156.0.8078.47, update Chrome immediately. No direct network detection commands are provided for this issue.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to run arbitrary code on your system through a malicious webpage. This could lead to unauthorized access, data theft, or installation of malware, even though Chrome runs in a sandboxed environment.

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 risks may impact compliance with GDPR (data protection) and HIPAA (health data security) by potentially exposing sensitive information or violating confidentiality requirements.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome to version 156.0.8078.47 or later to address the use-after-free vulnerability in V8.
