Because the flaw permits execution inside the sandbox, the impact is high, but the vulnerability\u2019s exploitation requires the user to visit or open a crafted page; therefore, the exploit probability is moderate until the patch is deployed. The issue is not listed in CISA\u2019s KEV catalog, indicating no confirmed exploits in the wild as of this analysis."}}}}, "created": "2026-04-29T01:15:44.536421+00:00", "title": "Use\u2011After\u2011Free in Chrome Animation Component Enables Remote Code Execution", "updated": "2026-04-29T01:15:44.711527+00:00", "vendors": ["google", "google$PRODUCT$chrome"]}
