CVE-2024-0225
CVE-2024-0225 is a use-after-free vulnerability affecting Google Chrome's WebGPU implementation. Before version 120.0.6099.199, this flaw allowed a remote attacker to potentially cause heap corruption through a specially crafted HTML page. While the CVSS score is 8.8 (High), the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 77, indicating a significant risk level that warrants close attention. A successful exploit could lead to arbitrary code execution or denial of service. This Chrome vulnerability highlights the ongoing challenges in maintaining memory safety in complex browser components. Organizations should prioritize updating Chrome installations to mitigate this threat. The use-after-free vulnerability makes the system unstable and exploitable.
