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 actively load an attacker-controlled crafted HTML page in Google Chrome on iOS at a version below 156.0.8078.47; the bug triggers during the browser's Navigation processing. Key limiting factors: user interaction is mandatory (UI:R - the user must visit the malicious page), the impact is confined to reading memory inside the browser sandbox with no sandbox escape (Scope Unchanged) and no write/integrity or availability impact, and only the iOS build of Chrome is affected. No special target-side configuration is needed beyond running a vulnerable version.

Impact

This is a genuinely moderate-priority issue, not an overhyped high-CVSS flaw. The signals are internally consistent and point to limited real-world risk. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 6.5) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated bug that requires user interaction and yields confidentiality impact only (memory read), with no integrity or availability impact and no sandbox escape (S:U). EPSS reinforces low urgency at 0.22% (11th percentile), and the vulnerability is NOT on the CISA KEV list, with no public exploit code referenced in the provided sources. Chromium itself rated the security severity only Medium, which aligns with an in-sandbox information leak rather than remote code execution. One point to verify: the CVSS assigns C:H, but the description characterizes the impact as merely 'potentially read memory inside the sandbox,' a contained info-leak that many analysts would score C:L - treat C:H as possibly generous. No SSVC decision data was supplied in the input. Overall: patch in the normal cycle; this does not warrant emergency response.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker hosts or injects a crafted HTML page and lures a Chrome-for-iOS user into visiting it (e.g., via a link, ad, or compromised site). When Chrome's Navigation component processes the page, the memory-corruption condition is triggered, allowing the attacker to read adjacent memory contents within the browser sandbox - potentially leaking sensitive data that could aid further attacks. No public proof-of-concept was identified in the provided sources, and user interaction (visiting the page) is required.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026

Memory corruption in Google Chrome on iOS (versions prior to 156.0.8078.47) can let a remote attacker read memory inside the browser sandbox when a victim loads a crafted HTML page during Navigation processing. Exploitation requires user interaction and affects only the iOS build; it does not provide a sandbox escape, write access, or denial of service. No public exploit was identified at time of analysis, EPSS is low at 0.22% (11th percentile), and the vendor has released Chrome 156.0.8078.47 as the fix.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome on iOS to 156.0.8078.47 or later; this is the vendor-released patch version cited by the Chrome stable-channel advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_02018666648.html). Verify the installed version in Chrome's settings after updating from the App Store. If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by enforcing a minimum Chrome app version through mobile device management and restricting users from opening untrusted HTML links in Chrome on iOS; these controls lower the chance of the required user interaction but do not remediate the memory-corruption flaw, and version enforcement can block legitimate users on older builds. Monitor the Chromium issue (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/503774403) for any further vendor guidance.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Google Chrome on iOS processes page navigations through its Navigation component; CVE-2026-113209 is a CWE-119 memory-bounds error that manifests during that processing. The CVSS:3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N describes a remotely reachable, low-complexity bug that still requires the victim to open a crafted HTML page; the resulting impact is an out-of-bounds read that can disclose memory contents inside the Chrome sandbox, with Scope Unchanged meaning the sandbox boundary is not crossed and no integrity or availability effect is expected. The Chromium security severity is Medium and the issue is tracked at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/503774403; only the iOS build prior to 156.0.8078.47 is in scope.

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.
