DescriptionCVE.org

Race 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: Low)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine (all versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) allows a remote attacker who lures a victim to a crafted HTML page to execute arbitrary code, though confined inside the renderer sandbox rather than achieving a full sandbox escape. Google rated the Chromium security severity as Low, and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation (CISA SSVC exploitation status: none). Exploitation hinges on winning a timing race, so despite the 7.5 CVSS score it is regarded as difficult to trigger reliably.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw lives in V8, the JavaScript and WebAssembly engine that powers Chrome and all Chromium-derived browsers. The root cause is CWE-362 (Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization, i.e. a race condition): concurrently executing code paths access a shared resource without adequate locking, letting an attacker manipulate memory state during the window between check and use to corrupt engine internals and gain code execution. Per the CPE data (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome), the affected component is the desktop Chrome application; because V8 is shared upstream, other Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Electron apps) likely inherit the same defect until they rebase on the fixed V8. Crucially, the described impact is code execution 'inside a sandbox,' meaning the compromise is contained to the renderer process and CVSS scope is Unchanged (S:U) - a separate sandbox-escape bug would be required to reach the host OS.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Stable channel; the fix is described in Google's advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Because Chrome auto-updates, most endpoints will receive the fix on next relaunch, so the primary compensating control is to force a browser restart across the fleet rather than waiting for background updates, and to verify the installed version via chrome://settings/help. Users of other Chromium-based browsers should apply their vendor's corresponding update once it rebases on the patched V8. As an interim measure for high-risk users, restricting untrusted-site browsing or enabling site isolation reduces exposure, but these do not fully substitute for the patch and carry usability trade-offs.
