Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the victim to actively load a crafted HTML/JavaScript page in Google Chrome prior to 155.0.8059.39 (UI:R user interaction), so it cannot be triggered against an idle target with no browsing activity. The flaw is a CWE-362 race condition in the V8 engine, meaning successful exploitation depends on winning a non-deterministic timing window, reducing reliability. Critically, resulting code execution is limited to inside the Chrome renderer sandbox (scope unchanged) - escaping to the host OS requires chaining a separate sandbox-escape vulnerability. No authentication is needed (PR:N). The limiting factors are therefore: mandatory user navigation to attacker content, race-timing reliability, and sandbox containment.

Impact

Multiple signals align on genuine but conditional priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) describes network-reachable, unauthenticated exploitation requiring only that a victim visit a crafted HTML page, and C:H/I:H/A:H yields an 8.8 (High) base score. Google/Chromium rated it 'High' severity and the reporter is Chrome's own team. The critical mitigating fact is in the description itself: code execution is confined 'inside the sandbox' (S:U, scope unchanged) - on its own this bug does not escape Chrome's renderer sandbox, so a full host compromise would require chaining a separate sandbox-escape vulnerability. CWE-362 (race condition) also means reliable exploitation depends on winning a timing window, which typically raises practical attack complexity above the AC:L stated in the input vector. No EPSS score, CISA KEV entry, or public POC is present in the supplied data, so this is not confirmed to be actively exploited; it reads as a high-CVSS browser flaw that is a real patching priority given Chrome's footprint, but not an emergency absent a known exploit chain or in-the-wild activity. Note the conflict to verify: the input marks AC:L, yet race-condition bugs generally warrant AC:H - treat exploitation reliability as lower than the 8.8 suggests.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker hosts or compromises a web page containing JavaScript crafted to trigger the V8 race condition, then lures a Chrome user (via link, ad, or malvertising) to visit it. Winning the timing window corrupts V8 memory and lets the attacker run arbitrary code within the renderer sandbox. No public exploit code is identified in the provided data, and full system compromise would require an additional sandbox-escape bug.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026

Remote code execution inside the Chrome renderer sandbox is possible in Google Chrome versions prior to 155.0.8059.39 through a race condition in the V8 JavaScript engine, triggered when a victim loads a crafted HTML page. The flaw requires no authentication (PR:N) but does require user interaction (UI:R) and depends on winning a non-deterministic timing window, which is reflected in the assessed AC:H and makes reliable exploitation harder. Resulting code execution stays within the renderer sandbox, so escaping to the host OS would require chaining a separate sandbox-escape vulnerability; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and vendor patches are available.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Google Chrome 155.0.8059.39 or later, which is the vendor-released patch for this CVE, and ensure automatic updates are enabled so the fixed build is deployed promptly; consult the Chrome stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_086471744.html and the Chromium issue at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/559780376. If immediate upgrade is not possible, reduce exposure by restricting browsing to trusted sites and avoiding untrusted HTML/JavaScript content, since exploitation requires the victim to load a crafted page; this has an obvious usability trade-off. Keep Chrome's default Site Isolation enabled (it limits the reach of a renderer compromise) and run the browser under an OS-level sandbox or with a dedicated low-privilege account, though these controls only reduce impact and do not substitute for patching because a chained sandbox escape is still possible.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is a CWE-362 race condition in V8, Chrome's JavaScript and WebAssembly engine, where concurrent or out-of-order operations can be manipulated to produce an inconsistent state that an attacker can turn into arbitrary code execution. CPE data identifies the affected product as cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, and the fix is tracked in the Chromium issue tracker under 559780376 with a vendor severity of High. Because the bug class is timing-dependent, exploitation is not deterministic; the attacker must repeatedly attempt to hit the race window while the victim browses attacker-controlled content. Even when the race is won, the exploit runs inside Chrome's renderer sandbox, leaving the security scope unchanged (S:U); host compromise would require a second, independent sandbox-escape flaw, which the provided data does not include.

DescriptionCVE.org

Race condition in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 155.0.8059.39 allowed a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Google Chrome versions prior to 155.0.8059.39 contain a high-severity memory-safety race condition in the V8 JavaScript engine that can let a crafted web page execute code inside the browser's renderer sandbox on an affected endpoint. Any employee who browses the web with an unpatched Chrome install is a potential target, and while the flaw requires a user to open a malicious page and is difficult to trigger reliably, a successful compromise would give an attacker a foothold inside the browser process on corporate workstations. Because the weakness affects the most widely deployed application in the fleet, leadership should treat this as a fleet-wide patching priority rather than an isolated technical issue.

Attack Technique

Race conditions occur when multiple concurrent requests exploit the brief time gap between checking a condition and acting upon it (TOCTOU - Time of Check, Time of Use).

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
