Sandboxed code execution via out-of-bounds V8 read
Published Aug 27, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in V8 in Google Chrome before 151.0.7922.72 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox via crafted HTML. Google identifies V8 as the affected component but keeps the referenced bug restricted, so the specific operation that reads beyond its bounds is undisclosed. Opening attacker-controlled HTML is required, and resulting code execution remains confined to the browser sandbox unless combined with another flaw.
