MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a victim using Google Chrome prior to 156.0.8078.47 to navigate to an attacker-controlled or compromised web page that serves a crafted HTML form designed to trigger the out-of-bounds write in the Forms component. No authentication is required (PR:N), but the attack is gated by mandatory user interaction (UI:R) - the victim must actively load the malicious page; there is no zero-click path. The primary limiting factors are the required user navigation and the fact that reaching 'outside the sandbox' depends on chaining past Chrome's renderer sandbox, which Google's 'Low' severity rating implies is not straightforward. Any patched Chrome build (156.0.8078.47 or later) fully removes exposure. |
| Impact | Signals conflict sharply here. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H = 9.6 Critical) describes a remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated memory-corruption bug with a scope change consistent with the description's claim of code execution 'outside the sandbox' - on paper a top-tier threat. However, Google's own Chromium severity rating is explicitly 'Low', a direct and significant contradiction with the 9.6 score that should be treated as a red flag: the CVSS likely over-weights the theoretical 'outside the sandbox' wording ('potentially execute arbitrary code') while Google assesses practical exploitability as limited. No EPSS score was supplied, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. The CVE is not in CISA KEV and no POC is referenced, so this is no public exploit identified at time of analysis - not active exploitation. Exploitation also requires user interaction (UI:R), lowering real-world weaponization likelihood versus a zero-click bug. Net: patch promptly because Chrome is ubiquitous and the fix is already shipped, but the vendor's 'Low' rating plus absence of EPSS/KEV/POC suggests this is a high-CVSS number that does not reflect confirmed high real-world risk. Verify the sandbox-escape claim against the Chrome release notes before escalating. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts or compromises a web page containing a crafted HTML form that triggers an out-of-bounds write in Chrome's Forms handling when a victim visits it. Because the description states the bug may allow code execution outside the sandbox, successful exploitation could run attacker code on the victim host rather than being confined to the renderer. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the attack requires the victim to load the malicious page (UI:R). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Out-of-bounds write in Google Chrome's Forms component before version 156.0.8078.47 allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox when a victim opens a crafted HTML page. Exploitation requires the victim to navigate to the malicious page (UI:R); no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis, and Google rates the Chromium security severity as Low despite the 9.6 CVSS score. Vendor-released patch: 156.0.8078.47.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome to version 156.0.8078.47 or later; the vendor-released patch is available. Use Chrome's built-in update mechanism or enterprise update policies such as Chrome Browser Cloud Management to force the update, and verify the installed version after deployment. Restart all browser processes so the updated binary is active. Consult the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_02018666648.html and the Chromium issue at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/513468106 for details. No specific feature-disable workaround is documented; restricting browsing to trusted sites or blocking untrusted web content reduces exposure but is disruptive and is not a substitute for patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a CWE-787 out-of-bounds write in the Forms handling code of Chromium's Blink rendering engine, which underlies Google Chrome. A crafted HTML form can trigger memory corruption in the renderer process. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) models a scope change, implying the attacker could affect resources beyond the renderer's security context - that is, escape the sandbox - but Google's Low Chromium severity and the independent assessment indicate that sandbox escape is not straightforward and likely requires additional chaining. No CPE data was supplied; EUVD lists Chrome versions before 156.0.8078.47 as affected. The attack surface is any Chrome user who loads attacker-controlled or compromised web content; no authentication is needed, but user interaction is mandatory.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Out of bounds write in Forms in Google Chrome prior to 156.0.8078.47 allowed a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)
Executive ViewAI
Google Chrome's Forms component has a critical memory-safety defect that could allow a remote attacker to execute code outside the browser sandbox on an affected endpoint when a user opens a crafted HTML page. The exposure spans typical enterprise Chrome populations, but no public exploit was identified at time of analysis and Google has released patch 156.0.8078.47, so leadership should focus on rapid patch compliance rather than incident response. Because successful exploitation would turn a browser session into endpoint-level compromise, the issue warrants prioritized remediation despite Google's low Chromium severity rating.

SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
