Google · Google Chrome · CVE-2022-0793
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Google Chrome versions prior to 99.0.4844.51
**Description**
The issue is related to a use after free in the Cast component of Google Chrome, which can lead to heap corruption. An attacker who convinces a user to install a malicious extension and engages in specific user interaction can potentially exploit this issue. This can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
**Recommendations**
For Google Chrome versions prior to 99.0.4844.51, update to version 99.0.4844.51 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the installation of extensions until the update is applied. Restrict user interaction with extensions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
