Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Use after free vulnerability in Google Chrome's Autofill feature on Windows allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via heap corruption. Exploitation requires the victim to perform specific UI gestures on a crafted HTML page, making user interaction a necessary condition for attack success.

MitigationUpdate Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.103 or later to patch the vulnerability. Organizations should deploy the browser update through standard patch management processes and verify Autofill functionality post-update.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify Chrome is installed
    Check for Chrome executable at C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe. Alternatively, open Command Prompt and run: reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Google Chrome"
    Affected if Chrome is not installed on the Windows system
  2. Determine installed Chrome version
    Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://version, or run "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --version from Command Prompt, or read the Version value from the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Google Chrome
    Affected if Unable to retrieve the version number
  3. Compare version against affected range
    Review the version number obtained from the previous step. The affected version range is any version less than 149.0.7827.103. Compare numerically: for example, 149.0.7827.100 is affected, 149.0.7827.103 is not
    Affected if Installed version is less than 149.0.7827.103 (for example, 148.0.XXXX or 149.0.7827.102)
  4. Confirm Autofill is enabled
    In Chrome, go to Settings > Autofill and passwords > Autofill settings, or navigate to chrome://settings/autofill. Verify if any Autofill profiles or payment methods are saved and enabled
    Affected if Autofill is enabled with saved data (the vulnerability specifically targets the Autofill feature)

A user is affected if Google Chrome for Windows is installed with a version lower than 149.0.7827.103 and Autofill is enabled, as the use-after-free vulnerability requires the Autofill feature to be active.
