Heap corruption via undisclosed V8 implementation flaw
Published Aug 21, 2024 · Updated Oct 21, 2025
Heap corruption in V8 in Google Chrome before 128.0.6613.84 allows remote attackers to corrupt browser memory via crafted HTML. Google identifies an inappropriate V8 implementation but has not published the faulty check or code path that mishandles page-controlled input. A user must load the crafted page, and successful exploitation can compromise the browser process or cause it to crash.
