CVE-2026-14405Network attack vector

Sandboxed code execution via uninitialized V8 variable

Published Jul 1, 2026 · Updated Jul 1, 2026

Uninitialized use in V8 in Google Chrome before 150.0.7871.46 allows remote attackers to execute code in the sandbox via crafted HTML. Google identifies V8 as the affected component, but the access-restricted issue does not disclose which variable is left uninitialized or where it is consumed. Exploitation requires a user to open attacker-controlled HTML; resulting code execution remains confined to Chrome's sandbox, with no published sandbox escape.
