CVE-2023-2724Network attack vector

Heap corruption via V8 type confusion

Published May 16, 2023 · Updated May 5, 2025

Type confusion in Google Chrome before 113.0.5672.126 allows remote attackers to corrupt the heap through a crafted HTML page. Google identifies V8 as the affected component but has not disclosed the precise code locus or incompatible-type access that causes the corruption. A user must load attacker-controlled HTML; public records establish no narrower post-corruption outcome.
