Chrome Patches 108 Vulnerabilities Including Crticial Flaws that Enable Code Execution Attacks
Google patched 108 vulnerabilities in Chrome 154, including critical memory-safety flaws that could enable remote code execution.
Use-After-Free Sandbox Escape in Google Chrome WindowDialog
Google Chrome versions before 154.0.8037.57 have a use-after-free flaw (CWE-416) in the WindowDialog component, rated Critical by Chromium. A remote attacker who uses social engineering to get a victim to open a crafted HTML page can trigger the bug and potentially run arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox. Anyone still running an unpatched Chrome release is affected. CVSS has not been scored, no public proof-of-concept is known, and the issue is not listed in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
What to do: Update Google Chrome to version 154.0.8037.57 or later and fully restart the browser so the update takes effect. Until then, avoid opening untrusted links or HTML pages, and have enterprise admins push the fixed build through managed update channels and confirm the running version afterward.
