DescriptionCVE.org

Uninitialized Use in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.46 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary code execution within the renderer sandbox in Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine (versions prior to 150.0.7871.46) can be triggered when a victim loads a crafted HTML page. The flaw stems from use of uninitialized memory in V8 and, while carrying a high CVSS base score of 9.6, was rated only Low severity by Chromium because code execution is confined inside the renderer sandbox and still requires a separate sandbox escape for full host compromise. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Lure victim to crafted HTML page
Delivery
Malicious JavaScript runs in V8
Exploit
Trigger uninitialized-memory read in V8
Execution
Build read/write primitive
Persist
Execute arbitrary code in renderer sandbox
Impact
Chain sandbox escape for host compromise

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to load a crafted HTML/JavaScript page in a vulnerable Chrome build (UI:R - user interaction to visit or open the page is mandatory), so there is no drive-by-without-interaction path and no valid target unless the browser is below 150.0.7871.46. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals conflict and must be weighed carefully. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts or injects a crafted HTML page containing malicious JavaScript that triggers the uninitialized-memory condition in V8; a victim is lured to the page via a phishing link or malvertising and, on load, the attacker gains arbitrary code execution inside the Chrome renderer sandbox. To move from renderer control to full system compromise, the attacker would need to chain a separate sandbox-escape vulnerability. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: 150.0.7871.46 - upgrade Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.46 or later on all desktop platforms and restart the browser to load the new V8 build, per the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
