A high-severity memory corruption flaw in Chrome's Media component lets a remote attacker potentially execute arbitrary code inside the browser sandbox by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page. Successful exploitation gives code execution in the victim's browser context. Anyone running an unpatched Chrome build is affected.
What to do: Update Chrome to version 156.0.8078.73 or later; Chrome's auto-update will roll this out, so verify the update applied.
| Product | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| Google Chrome | prior to 156.0.8078.73 | 156.0.8078.73 |
Estimated exposure
largeUnknown share of unpatched Chrome installs — Chrome is the dominant browser, but auto-update means only the unpatched share is exposed.
Order-of-magnitude estimate by the model from install counts, market share and public scan data it knows; verify before quoting.
