A high-severity use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome's Network component allows an attacker in a privileged network position to potentially exploit heap corruption through malicious network traffic. The plugin lists a CVSS v3 base score of 8.1. Its remediation recommends Chromium package version 149.0.7827.114 or later, while the vulnerability description identifies Chrome versions before 149.0.7827.115 as affected; these version thresholds should not be treated as interchangeable without vendor confirmation.
