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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a use-after-free issue in the Views component of Google Chrome before version 153.0.8010.36. A use-after-free occurs when a program continues to use memory after it has been freed, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution outside the sandbox. The attacker could exploit this via UI interaction.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability is specific to Google Chrome and requires detecting outdated versions of the browser. Check your Chrome version via chrome://settings/help or command line. If version is below 153.0.8010.36, the system is vulnerable. No direct network detection commands are available from the provided context.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on your system outside the Chrome sandbox. This means they might gain control over your computer, steal data, or install malware, even if you only visit a malicious website or interact with a crafted UI element.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via UI interaction, which could lead to unauthorized data access or manipulation. Such code execution risks may violate GDPR's integrity and confidentiality requirements or HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Google Chrome to version 153.0.8010.36 or later to address the use-after-free vulnerability in Views.
