CVE-2026-19168Network attack vector

Sandboxed arbitrary code execution

Published Aug 6, 2026 · Updated Aug 6, 2026

Inappropriate implementation in V8 in Google Chrome before 151.0.7922.109 allows remote attackers to execute code inside the sandbox. Google identifies the affected locus only as V8; the restricted issue record does not disclose the implementation error or operation performed on crafted HTML. Exploitation requires a user to open a crafted HTML page, and the published impact is code execution within Chrome's sandbox rather than a sandbox escape.
