CVE-2022-1876Network attack vector

Heap corruption via DevTools out-of-bounds write

Published Jul 27, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Heap buffer overflow in DevTools in Google Chrome before 102.0.5005.61 allows attackers to corrupt heap memory through crafted HTML. Google has not disclosed the affected DevTools routine, the destination buffer, or the missing bounds check that permits the out-of-bounds heap write. Exploitation requires convincing a user to install a malicious extension before attacker-controlled page content is processed, and public sources do not establish code execution.
