The vulnerability lies within the Dawn component, a library used for interacting with the WebGPU API. An attacker who has already compromised the Chrome renderer process can exploit this use-after-free vulnerability to potentially escape the Chrome sandbox. Successful exploitation requires the attacker to craft a malicious HTML page that triggers the vulnerability in Dawn, enabling them to execute arbitrary code outside the confines of the renderer process and potentially gain control of the user\u0026rsquo;s system. This poses a significant risk to users browsing untrusted websites.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker crafts a malicious HTML page specifically designed to trigger the use-after-free vulnerability in the Dawn component of Google Chrome.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe victim visits the malicious HTML page via a compromised website, a phishing link, or other social engineering techniques.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe HTML page leverages the WebGPU API to interact with the Dawn component.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe malicious code manipulates memory in a way that leads to a use-after-free condition within Dawn.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker exploits the use-after-free vulnerability to overwrite memory and gain control of program execution.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker leverages the compromised renderer process to attempt a sandbox escape.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf successful, the attacker can execute arbitrary code outside the Chrome sandbox.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker can then install malware, steal sensitive data, or perform other malicious actions on the victim\u0026rsquo;s system.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of CVE-2026-6310 allows an attacker to escape the Chrome sandbox, a security mechanism designed to isolate web content from the rest of the system.
