The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an attacker to deliver a crafted HTML page and the victim to visit/render it (UI:R in the CVSS vector), so this is not a zero-click flaw - user interaction is the primary limiting factor. The affected component is the CacheStorage subsystem in Chrome versions prior to 156.0.8078.79; running a patched build removes exposure. No authentication is required (PR:N). The impact is bounded to reading memory (C:L; I:N/A:N), so there is no confirmed code execution or availability impact from this issue alone. The specific configuration or page content that triggers the corruption is not described in the available sources.

Impact

This is a moderate, not high-priority issue. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, base 4.3) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw whose only impact is a partial loss of confidentiality (C:L) - consistent with the description, which states an attacker can read memory, not corrupt execution flow or crash the process. All real-world signals align downward: EPSS is 0.20% (9th percentile), the vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV, and the SSVC decision framework reports Exploitation: none, Automatable: no, Technical Impact: partial. The vuln.today priority is 'this_month', not act_now or emergency. Chromium labels the security severity 'High', but that reflects browser-internal triage of a memory-safety bug class, not confirmed exploitability; the quantitative signals (EPSS, SSVC, absence of KEV) indicate low probability of widespread exploitation. The chief caveat: Chromium rates this High while the NVD CVSS is only 4.3 - this gap is expected because the CVSS impact is limited to an information read (C:L), whereas Chromium weights memory-corruption primitives that could be chained. Treat as a routine patch-cycle item unless combined with other Chrome vulnerabilities.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote attacker hosts a crafted HTML page and lures a victim into visiting it (user interaction required). When the page exercises the CacheStorage code path, it triggers the memory-corruption condition and allows the attacker to read portions of browser process memory, potentially disclosing sensitive data from other sites or the process. Low attack complexity, but no public exploit has been identified and the leak is a partial confidentiality impact only.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026

Memory corruption in Google Chrome's CacheStorage subsystem, affecting versions prior to 156.0.8078.79, allows a remote attacker who convinces a victim to render a crafted HTML page to read memory contents; the issue is rated moderate (CVSS 4.3) because exploitation requires user interaction and the confirmed impact is limited to confidentiality. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, EPSS is 0.20% (9th percentile), and CISA SSVC records no known exploitation with partial technical impact. Authentication is not required per the CVSS vector (PR:N), but the crafted page must be visited and rendered (UI:R), and no code execution or availability impact is confirmed from this issue alone.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 156.0.8078.79 fixes CVE-2026-76027; update to that version or later via the Chrome stable channel, as documented in the advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_02107719452.html. No workaround is described in the available sources, and running a patched build removes exposure; the upstream Chromium issue at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/568894475 can be tracked for additional detail. Because exploitation requires a victim to render a crafted HTML page (UI:R), there is no confirmed zero-click path, and the confirmed impact is limited to reading memory (C:L, I:N/A:N).

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is a CWE-119 memory-corruption defect in Chrome's CacheStorage implementation, the web storage API that lets pages retain Request/Response pairs for offline and cache-backed use. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers Chrome builds before 156.0.8078.79, and the Chromium tracker entry (issues.chromium.org/issues/568894475) is the upstream record. Chromium rates the security severity High, while the assessed CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N yields 4.3: network delivery with no privileges, but a mandatory user-render step and only a low confidentiality effect, with no integrity or availability impact. The exact page content or configuration that triggers the corruption is not described in the available sources, so the mechanism beyond the CacheStorage component and memory-corruption class cannot be stated.

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.
