Use-after-free in Printing in Google Chrome on Android

IdentifiersCVE-2026-11647CWE-416· Use After Free

CVE-2026-11647 is a high-severity use-after-free vulnerability in the Printing component of Google Chrome on Android prior to 149.0.7827.103. The flaw can be triggered via a crafted HTML page and affects memory lifetime handling in Printing. According to the provided advisory text, exploitation requires that the attacker has already compromised the renderer process; from that position, the use-after-free condition may be leveraged to cross the renderer boundary and potentially escape Chrome's sandbox on Android.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation could allow an attacker who already has code execution or equivalent control within the compromised renderer process to potentially escape the Chrome sandbox on Android. This could expand the attack from a renderer compromise to broader access, with possible consequences including further code execution, privilege escalation, and compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the affected device.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

No specific temporary workaround was provided in the supplied content. The practical mitigation is to apply the fixed Chrome/Chromium update as soon as possible. Until patching is completed, reducing exposure to untrusted web content may lower risk, but this is not a vendor-stated mitigation and does not remove the underlying vulnerability.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Google Chrome on Android to version 149.0.7827.103 or later. If using downstream Chromium packages, apply the vendor-fixed builds referenced in the supplied advisories, such as Debian chromium 149.0.7827.102-1~deb12u1 for oldstable (bookworm) or 149.0.7827.102-1~deb13u1 for stable (trixie), as applicable.
