Memory corruption in Chrome Payments before 156.0.8078.73
Memory corruption in the Payments component of Google Chrome before 156.0.8078.73 lets a remote attacker run arbitrary code inside the sandbox by serving a crafted HTML page. No authentication is required; visiting the page is enough. Chrome users on builds older than 156.0.8078.73 are affected. Code execution stays inside the sandbox.
What to do: Update Google Chrome to 156.0.8078.73 or later.
| Product | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| Google Chrome | prior to 156.0.8078.73 | 156.0.8078.73 |
