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 the victim to navigate a vulnerable Chrome build (prior to 156.0.8078.47) to an attacker-controlled HTML page that exercises the Bluetooth code path - user interaction (UI:R) to load the page is the primary limiting factor, though no authentication or non-default configuration is needed. The critical containment is that successful exploitation yields code execution only 'inside the sandbox' (Scope:Unchanged), so impact to the host OS, other origins, or user data outside the renderer requires a separate, chained sandbox-escape vulnerability not covered by this CVE. |
| Impact | This is a genuine patch-now issue for any Chrome fleet, though the raw CVSS 8.8 overstates the worst case somewhat. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U) describes a remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack requiring only that a victim load a crafted HTML page - a realistic bar for browsers. However, the description explicitly scopes code execution to 'inside the sandbox,' and the Scope:Unchanged (S:U) metric is consistent with that: this flaw alone does not escape the renderer sandbox, so full host compromise requires chaining a separate sandbox-escape bug. That is why Google's own Chromium severity is rated Medium even though the CVSS base score is High - the two signals are not contradictory but measure different things (CVSS impact-within-reach vs. vendor's holistic triage). No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC is present in the provided data, so there is no evidence of active exploitation or available exploit code at this time. Net: real priority because of ubiquity and ease of trigger, but the sandbox containment and absence of exploitation signals place it below in-the-wild zero-days. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts or compromises a web page containing crafted content that abuses Chrome's Bluetooth implementation; when a victim with a vulnerable Chrome version visits it, the memory-corruption bug is triggered and attacker-controlled code runs inside the renderer sandbox. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and because the attack is network-delivered with low complexity, a drive-by or malvertising delivery is plausible, but useful host compromise would require pairing this with a sandbox escape. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Memory corruption in Google Chrome's Bluetooth implementation before version 156.0.8078.47 allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code inside the renderer sandbox by convincing a user to open a crafted HTML page. Exploitation requires user interaction to load the page (CVSS UI:R), and because the assessed scope is unchanged, compromise of the host operating system or other origins would require a separate sandbox-escape vulnerability. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing was identified at the time of analysis, but the vendor has released Chrome 156.0.8078.47 to correct the flaw.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome to version 156.0.8078.47 or later and restart the browser so the new binary is active; verify the installed version through chrome://settings/help or your enterprise update tooling, and use the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_02018666648.html for release details. For fleets that cannot patch immediately, reduce exposure by disabling or restricting Web Bluetooth through Chrome enterprise policy, such as setting DefaultWebBluetoothGuardSetting to block Bluetooth access or using WebBluetoothBlockedForUrls, while accepting that this breaks legitimate Bluetooth-dependent web applications. Blocking Bluetooth at the OS level or disabling the adapter on managed endpoints provides a stronger temporary barrier but has the same functional trade-off and may affect other peripherals and applications. Because exploitation requires a user to open a crafted page, restricting browsing to trusted sites and enforcing safe-linking controls can lower likelihood, but these are compensating measures only and do not replace upgrading to 156.0.8078.47.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is classified as CWE-119, improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer, in Chrome's Bluetooth-related code path. A crafted HTML page triggers malformed Bluetooth interactions that corrupt memory, potentially allowing an attacker to redirect execution and run arbitrary code within the browser's renderer sandbox. The CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H: the attacker can reach the flaw remotely without credentials and with low attack complexity, but must persuade the victim to load attacker-controlled content. The Scope:Unchanged rating is significant because it confines the demonstrated impact to the Chrome sandbox; escaping that sandbox to affect the host OS, filesystem, or other origins is outside this CVE and would require chaining a separate vulnerability. Chromium rates the issue Medium, while the 8.8 score reflects high confidentiality and integrity impact within the sandboxed context.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Memory corruption in Bluetooth in Google Chrome prior to 156.0.8078.47 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
Executive ViewAI
Google Chrome endpoints running versions prior to 156.0.8078.47 are exposed to a high-severity memory-corruption flaw in the browser’s Bluetooth component that could allow code execution within the renderer sandbox when a user opens a crafted web page. The issue requires user interaction and is contained to the browser renderer unless combined with a separate sandbox escape, but the broad Chrome footprint and potential for session or data exposure make rapid remediation important. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; Vendor-released patch: 156.0.8078.47.

The engine reads each signal below and applies a fixed list of rules from top to bottom. The first rule that matches sets the recommended action – like a statement, every line is shown.

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.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
