CWE

KEV

CWE ID	Description
CWE-119	The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
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.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a memory corruption issue in the Model component of Google Chrome versions before 156.0.8078.47. It allows 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 involves memory corruption in Google Chrome's Model component. Detection requires checking the installed Chrome version against the patched version (156.0.8078.47). Use commands like 'google-chrome --version' or check via package manager (e.g., 'apt list --installed | grep chrome' on Debian/Ubuntu). If the version is older, the system is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to run malicious code on your device, potentially stealing data, installing malware, or taking control of your browser session. Since it requires user interaction, avoiding suspicious links reduces risk.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability involves memory corruption in Google Chrome that could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. While the CVSS score indicates a high severity (8.8), the specific impact on compliance with standards like GDPR or HIPAA is not directly addressed in the provided context. However, such vulnerabilities could potentially lead to unauthorized data access or processing, which may violate GDPR's data protection principles or HIPAA's security rules if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome to version 156.0.8078.47 or later to address the memory corruption vulnerability. Disable automatic updates temporarily if needed, but prioritize patching to prevent potential remote code execution.
