Exploitability

CWE

KEV

CWE ID	Description
CWE-451	The user interface (UI) does not properly represent critical information to the user, allowing the information - or its source - to be obscured or spoofed. This is often a component in phishing attacks.
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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 WebAppInstalls in Google Chrome versions prior to 156.0.8078.47. A use-after-free occurs when a program continues to use a pointer after freeing the memory it points to, 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 and execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox.

Detection Guidance

Detection of this vulnerability requires checking the installed version of Google Chrome. If your version is prior to 156.0.8078.47, the system is vulnerable. Use commands like 'google-chrome --version' on Linux or check 'chrome://settings/help' in the browser to compare versions.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on your system if you visit a specially crafted malicious webpage. Since it occurs inside the sandbox, the impact is somewhat limited, but it could still lead to unauthorized actions or data access within the browser 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. This may impact compliance with GDPR by risking personal data breaches and HIPAA by potentially exposing protected health information if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update Google Chrome to version 156.0.8078.47 or later. Disable automatic updates temporarily if needed, but ensure the update is applied as soon as possible to prevent exploitation.
