DescriptionCVE.org

Type confusion in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.169 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Type confusion in V8, Chrome's JavaScript engine, enables remote code execution within the browser sandbox against users running Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.169. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger the vulnerability by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page, making this a drive-by exploitation scenario requiring only a single user interaction. …

Malicious JavaScript triggers V8 type confusion
Execution
Memory corruption primitive achieved
Impact
Arbitrary code executes in renderer sandbox

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Victim must actively visit or be redirected to a crafted HTML page using an unpatched Chrome browser - this is the sole required condition (UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.8 base score reflects network-reachable exploitation with no authentication requirement, low complexity, and full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact - offset only by the requirement for user interaction (UI:R) and sandbox containment (S:U, no scope change). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a malicious HTML page containing crafted JavaScript designed to trigger a type confusion condition in V8's object handling. When a victim browses to the page - via a phishing link, malvertising, or a compromised legitimate site - Chrome's V8 engine processes the script and the type confusion causes controlled memory corruption, leading to arbitrary code execution within the Chrome renderer sandbox. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.169 or later via the built-in updater or the stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0826575033.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
