Process-memory disclosure via Skia heap overflow
Published Apr 15, 2026 · Updated Apr 15, 2026
Heap buffer overflow in Skia in Google Chrome before 147.0.7727.101 allows remote attackers to read process memory via crafted HTML. Skia accesses memory outside a heap allocation while processing attacker-controlled page content; Google has not disclosed the affected routine or malformed input structure. Exploitation requires a user to open the crafted page, and the published impact is limited to potentially sensitive process-memory disclosure.
