CVE-2026-76022Network attack vector

Sandbox escape via Network buffer overflow

Published Aug 20, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026

Buffer overflow in Network in Google Chrome before 151.0.7922.173 allows remote attackers to execute code outside the sandbox via HTML. Public detail stops at the Network component: the published record identifies a buffer overflow while processing attacker-controlled page-driven network input, but no function, parser, patch diff, or fuller root cause has been disclosed. Exploitation requires a victim to load a crafted page and can yield code execution beyond Chrome's renderer sandbox; no authoritative source retrieved here reports in-the-wild exploitation.
