Google Chrome for Android: Use after free in Passwords
Summary
A use-after-free flaw in the Passwords component of Google Chrome for Android allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside the browser sandbox. The attacker needs to lure a user to a crafted HTML page, so exposure comes from ordinary web browsing. Per the CVSS vector and CISA SSVC data, exploitation is not automatable and no exploitation has been reported.
Affected
- Google Chrome for Android prior to 156.0.8078.47
- Microsoft Edge and Linux distributions are also listed for this CVE, but their versions were not verified here
Fixed in
- Google Chrome for Android 156.0.8078.47 or later (vendor entry for the Android fix not verified)
- Microsoft Edge 156.0.4314.42 or later (per HKCERT)
Workaround
Unknown.
Exploitation
- No evidence of exploitation in the wild found
- No public proof of concept found
- EPSS score 0.00424
Our recommendation
- Confirm all managed and BYOD Android devices run Chrome 156.0.8078.47 or later, preferably the newest build in Google Play
- Check Microsoft Edge on Windows for 156.0.4314.42 or later
- Prioritise the full Chrome 156 update, which fixes 353 vulnerabilities, not this CVE alone
- Verify the Android fix in the Chrome Releases post or Chromium bug 558377544
Public exploits
PoC-in-GitHub, Metasploit and Exploit-DB list nothing for this CVE.
