Exploitability

CWE

KEV

CWE ID	Description
CWE-347	The product does not verify, or incorrectly verifies, the cryptographic signature for data.
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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 Loader component of 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. The flaw exists in Chrome versions prior to 156.0.8078.47 and can be triggered by 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 address bar. If the version is below 156.0.8078.47, the system is vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on your system if you visit a malicious webpage. Since it occurs inside the sandbox, the impact is limited to the browser's security context. However, it may still lead to data theft, malware installation, or unauthorized actions within the browser.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability allows remote code execution inside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page, 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.

Mitigation Strategies

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