Out-of-bounds memory access via V8 type confusion
Published Apr 15, 2026 · Updated May 27, 2026
Type confusion in V8 in Google Chrome before 147.0.7727.101 allows remote attackers to access memory out of bounds via a crafted HTML page. V8 interprets an object using an incompatible type while processing attacker-controlled page content; Google has not disclosed the specific faulty routine. Exploitation requires Chrome to render the page, and the published record does not establish a sandbox escape or a specific code-execution outcome.
