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

IdentifiersCVE-2026-6358CWE-416· Use After Free

CVE-2026-6358 is a critical use-after-free vulnerability in the XR component of Google Chrome on Android. The flaw affects Chrome on Android versions prior to 147.0.7727.101. According to the provided content, a remote attacker can trigger the bug by causing a victim to visit a crafted HTML page, which leads to an out-of-bounds memory read in the XR/WebXR-related code path after a freed object is dereferenced. Chromium rated the issue Critical, and the available CVSS vector indicates network reachability, no privileges required, and required user interaction.

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 allows a remote attacker to cause an out-of-bounds memory read within the browser process space associated with the XR component. This can result in disclosure of sensitive memory contents. The provided content also indicates high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact in the assigned CVSS vector, and notes that while public documentation specifically describes memory disclosure, further exploitation beyond information disclosure, potentially including more serious compromise, may be possible; however, no public exploitation chain is documented in the provided material.

Mitigation

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

If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by limiting use of vulnerable Chrome versions on Android, prioritizing updates for unmanaged or internet-exposed user populations, and restricting access to untrusted web content where operationally feasible. The provided content does not describe a vendor workaround, and version-based identification and rapid patching are the primary defensive measures.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Update Google Chrome on Android to version 147.0.7727.101 or later. The provided content identifies 147.0.7727.101 as the minimum safe version for Android. Organizations should audit managed Android device inventories and enforce minimum Chrome versions through MDM or enterprise browser management where applicable.
