Network-delivered via a crafted page with no auth (AV:N/PR:N) but needs the victim to open it (UI:R); V8 UAF yields full renderer compromise (C/I/A:H) confined to the sandbox, so scope is unchanged (S:U).

DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) allows a remote attacker to run arbitrary code inside the renderer sandbox when a victim opens a crafted HTML page. The flaw is a use-after-free (CWE-416) rated High by Chromium with a CVSS of 8.8, but there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is low (0.35%, 28th percentile), and CISA SSVC marks exploitation as none. Because code execution is confined to the sandbox, full host compromise would require chaining with a separate sandbox-escape.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability lives in V8, the C++ JavaScript/WebAssembly engine Chrome uses to JIT-compile and execute untrusted script from any web page. A use-after-free (CWE-416) occurs when the engine keeps referencing a heap object after it has been freed, letting an attacker who controls JavaScript reclaim that memory with attacker-controlled data and corrupt engine state - in V8 a well-known path to an arbitrary read/write primitive and ultimately code execution in the renderer. The affected component is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome (all builds below the fixed version), and the corruption is reachable purely through content rendered on a malicious or compromised page.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 151.0.7922.72 - update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later via the built-in updater (Help > About Google Chrome) and relaunch to apply, per the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. In managed fleets, push the update through enterprise policy/MDM and force a browser restart, since the fix is inert until relaunch. If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure with URL/category filtering at the proxy to limit arbitrary web content and enable Chrome's Enhanced Safe Browsing; keep Site Isolation and the renderer sandbox enabled since this bug executes only inside the sandbox. These web-filtering controls only narrow the delivery surface and do not remove the flaw, so treat them as stopgaps until 151.0.7922.72 is deployed.
