Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the victim be running Google Chrome prior to version 152.0.7977.65 and be socially engineered into visiting a crafted HTML page - user interaction (UI:R) is mandatory, meaning the attack cannot be automated without a social engineering step. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.8 score reflects high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact with a network attack vector and no privilege requirement, but the score must be weighed against several limiting signals. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malicious HTML page containing JavaScript designed to trigger the V8 type confusion bug, then distributes it via phishing email, malicious ad, or compromised website. A victim running an unpatched version of Chrome is socially engineered into visiting the page, at which point the script executes and achieves arbitrary code execution within Chrome's renderer sandbox. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch per the Stable Channel Update advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
