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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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 is a use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome's Transactions Platform. 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 browser's sandbox. The issue is triggered by 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, run: wmic product where "name like 'Google Chrome'" get version. On Linux, check via: google-chrome --version or dpkg -l | grep google-chrome. 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 device through a webpage. This could lead to unauthorized access to data, installation of malware, or other malicious activities while bypassing browser sandbox protections.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox via crafted HTML pages. While not directly tied to compliance standards, such vulnerabilities could lead to unauthorized data access or processing, which may violate GDPR (data protection) or HIPAA (health data privacy) if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

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