DescriptionCVE.org

Buffer overflow in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution within the Chrome sandbox is possible in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 via a stack-based buffer overflow in the V8 JavaScript engine, triggered by a crafted HTML page visited by an unpatched user. The vulnerability requires no authentication or elevated privileges from the victim - only that they visit an attacker-controlled page - and achieves arbitrary code execution within Chrome's renderer sandbox. …

Arbitrary code executes within Chrome renderer sandbox

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires only that the victim visit an attacker-controlled HTML page using a vulnerable version of Google Chrome (prior to 152.0.7977.65) - no special Chrome configuration, enabled features, or victim-side privileges are required, consistent with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N in the CVSS vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.8 score is driven by network accessibility (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no required privileges (PR:N), and full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact within the affected scope - metrics that accurately reflect how easy it is to deliver the exploit. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker registers or compromises a domain and serves a crafted HTML page containing malicious JavaScript engineered to trigger the V8 stack buffer overflow. A victim using unpatched Chrome visits the page - perhaps via a phishing link, malvertising, or a compromised legitimate site - causing the overflow to corrupt stack control data and redirect V8 execution to attacker-controlled code within the Chrome renderer sandbox. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later; this is the vendor-confirmed fixed release per the stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
