# CVE-2024-4671: Google Chromium Visuals Use-After-Free Vulnerability

**Signal:** Exploited: patch now if you run it. CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Yes, if you run Google Chromium. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-05-13, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2024-06-03 ; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 8.3% , percentile 95: FIRST’s model estimates a 8.3% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 95% of all scored CVEs (elevated). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Needs a user to click or open something. Phishing makes that realistic, but it is not wormable.

## What it is

Use after free in Visuals in Google Chrome prior to 124.0.6367.201 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

## Affected products (CVE record)

- Google Chrome: 124.0.6367.201 < 124.0.6367.201

## Severity

- CISA-ADP CVSS 3.1: 9.6 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: added 2024-05-13; federal due date 2024-06-03. Known ransomware use: Unknown.
- CISA required action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation active , automatable no , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 8.35% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 95.
