Heap corruption via WebHID out-of-bounds access
Published Mar 21, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Out-of-bounds memory access in WebHID in Google Chrome before 111.0.5563.110 allows remote attackers to corrupt heap memory. Google identifies WebHID as the affected component but has not published the exact faulty operation because the underlying issue remains restricted. Exploitation requires access to a malicious HID device, and the published consequence is bounded to potential heap corruption.
