Remote crafted page needs no privileges but requires the user to visit it (UI:R); scope stays Unchanged because code runs confined within the renderer sandbox.
vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

Type Confusion 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
Arbitrary code execution in Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine allows a remote attacker to run code inside the renderer sandbox when a victim visits a crafted HTML page, affecting all desktop builds prior to 151.0.7922.72. The flaw is a CWE-843 type confusion in V8 and carries a CVSS 8.8 due to network reach and high CIA impact, though execution is confined to the sandbox and Chromium rates the security severity as Low. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but a vendor patch is available.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability lives in V8, the just-in-time-compiling JavaScript/WebAssembly engine that powers Chrome and every Chromium-derived browser. CWE-843 (Type Confusion) occurs when the engine allocates or interprets an object as one type while it is actually another, typically through optimizer or garbage-collector edge cases that let attacker-controlled JavaScript violate V8's internal type assumptions. This yields arbitrary read/write primitives in the renderer's address space and ultimately code execution within that process. The single CPE provided, cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, confirms the affected component is the Chrome desktop application itself; because the same V8 code is shared, downstream Chromium browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi) are typically affected until they rebase on the fixed V8.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Stable Channel update described at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html; Chrome normally auto-updates, so ensure the browser has been fully relaunched to apply the new binary and verify the version under chrome://settings/help. In managed environments, push the update through your existing browser management (Google Admin Console policy, SCCM/Intune, or package repo) and force a restart to complete installation. If patching must be delayed, the practical compensating control is to keep Chrome's site isolation and sandbox enabled (default) and restrict browsing to trusted sites, since exploitation requires the user to load a malicious HTML page; note this only reduces exposure and does not remove the flaw. Users of other Chromium-based browsers should apply their vendor's corresponding V8 update once released.
