CVE-2024-4368Network attack vector

Code execution via Dawn use-after-free

Published May 1, 2024 · Updated Mar 13, 2025

Use after free in Dawn in Google Chrome before 124.0.6367.118 allows remote attackers to execute code via a crafted HTML page. The public record identifies Dawn, but the restricted Chromium issue leaves the freed object, faulty lifetime operation, and trigger sequence undisclosed. A user must load attacker-controlled HTML; successful exploitation runs code with the browser process's privileges or crashes that process.
