This vulnerability affects Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, as Edge incorporates Chromium. A use-after-free vulnerability occurs when an application attempts to use memory after it has been freed, which can lead to crashes, arbitrary code execution, or other unexpected behavior. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the browser. This vulnerability was reported and patched by the Chromium project.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn attacker crafts a malicious webpage containing specially crafted media content.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA user opens the malicious webpage in a vulnerable version of Chrome or Edge.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe browser attempts to process the malicious media content, triggering the use-after-free vulnerability in the Media component.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe vulnerable code attempts to access a freed memory region.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker gains control of the memory region due to the use-after-free condition.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker injects malicious code into the controlled memory region.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe browser executes the attacker-controlled code.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker achieves arbitrary code execution within the context of the browser process, potentially leading to system compromise.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of CVE-2026-7355 can lead to arbitrary code execution within the context of the browser process.
