Process-memory disclosure via uninitialized Skia data
Published Jul 30, 2026 · Updated Jul 30, 2026
Uninitialized memory use in Skia in Google Chrome before 151.0.7922.72 on Windows allows remote attackers to read process memory via crafted HTML. Google has not disclosed the affected Skia code path or the operation that consumes uninitialized data; the linked Chromium issue remains restricted. Exploitation requires a Windows user to load attacker-controlled HTML, and the documented consequence is process-memory disclosure without integrity or availability impact.
