CVE-2026-19559Network attack vector

Sandboxed code execution via HTML use-after-free

Published Aug 11, 2026 · Updated Aug 11, 2026

Use after free in HTML in Google Chrome before 151.0.7922.137 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in its sandbox via crafted HTML. Google identifies the affected locus only as HTML; the restricted issue record does not disclose which object is freed or which later operation reuses it. A user must open attacker-controlled content, after which successful exploitation runs code inside Chrome's sandbox rather than escaping it.
