Heap corruption via Payments use-after-free

Published Apr 5, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Use-after-free in Google Chrome Payments before 98.0.4758.80 allows remote attackers to corrupt heap memory through crafted HTML. Google identifies the Payments component and use-after-free condition, but the public vendor material does not disclose the freed object or faulty lifetime operation. A user must open the crafted page; the established consequence is heap corruption, while reliable code execution is not publicly demonstrated.
