Sandboxed code execution via V8 miscompilation
Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026
Incorrect calculation in V8 in Google Chrome before 151.0.7922.169 allows remote attackers to execute code inside the sandbox via crafted HTML. Public V8 regression tests added after the release show TurboFan can miscompile long AdditiveSafeInteger addition chains by truncating them to Word32 or preserving exact integer sums after JavaScript should round once intermediates pass 2^53. Exploitation requires a victim to render a malicious page, and public sources do not disclose an out-of-sandbox escape or a more specific memory-corruption primitive.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
