CVE-2024-5274Known exploitationNetwork attack vector

Sandboxed code execution via V8 type confusion

Published May 28, 2024 · Updated Oct 21, 2025

Type confusion in V8 in Google Chrome before 125.0.6422.112 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code inside its sandbox via crafted HTML. Google identifies the V8 JavaScript engine as the affected locus but has not published the incompatible object types or faulty operation. A victim must open attacker-controlled HTML, and the resulting execution remains inside Chrome's sandbox unless paired with a separate escape.
