Heap corruption via Accessibility use-after-free
Published Feb 21, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Use after free in Google Chrome Accessibility before 122.0.6261.57 allows remote attackers to trigger heap corruption through UI gestures. The public record does not identify the freed Accessibility object or the lifetime operation that later reuses it, and the linked Chromium issue requires sign-in. Exploitation requires prior compromise of the renderer process and user interaction; the reported consequence is heap corruption in that renderer.
