CVE-2026-12464 is a high-severity use-after-free vulnerability in the Browser component of Google Chrome prior to version 149.0.7827.155. The flaw is a memory-safety error in which previously freed memory can be accessed after release, creating conditions for memory corruption. According to the available vendor description, exploitation requires an attacker to have already compromised the renderer process and then leverage the bug via a crafted HTML page to potentially escape Chrome's sandbox. The issue affects Chromium-based browsers that incorporate the vulnerable Chromium codebase, including Google Chrome and downstream Chromium-based products until they are updated to fixed builds.
