DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.46 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution risk in Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine (versions prior to 150.0.7871.46) arises from a use-after-free that a remote attacker can trigger by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page, leading to heap corruption and potential arbitrary code execution in the renderer. The CVSS 8.8 rating reflects high impact with only user interaction (visiting a page) required, though Google rated the Chromium security severity as Low and no public exploit is identified at time of analysis. EPSS is low at 0.18% (8th percentile) and CISA SSVC records no known exploitation.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw lives in V8, the C++ JavaScript and WebAssembly engine embedded in Chromium-based browsers, and is classified as CWE-416 (Use After Free): code retains and dereferences a pointer to heap memory that has already been freed, allowing an attacker who controls subsequent heap allocations to corrupt object state and hijack control flow. Because V8 executes untrusted JavaScript from any visited page, a malicious script can groom the heap to reoccupy the freed region with attacker-controlled data. The single affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*; the same V8 code is shared across other Chromium derivatives (Edge, Brave, Opera, Electron apps), which typically inherit the fix downstream.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.46 or later via the Stable channel and relaunch the browser to apply it (see https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html). Most installations auto-update, but administrators should confirm the rollout across managed fleets and force a restart, since the fix is inactive until Chrome is relaunched. Users of other Chromium-based browsers should apply their vendor's corresponding V8 update as it becomes available. As an interim compensating control on unpatched hosts, restrict browsing to trusted sites or disable JavaScript for untrusted origins (which breaks most modern web functionality) and consider site-isolation/renderer-hardening enterprise policies; these reduce but do not eliminate exposure, so prompt patching remains the reliable fix.
