Memory disclosure via SwiftShader heap over-read
Published May 14, 2026 · Updated May 14, 2026
Heap buffer overflow in SwiftShader in Google Chrome on Mac and iOS before 148.0.7778.168 allows remote attackers to read memory via crafted HTML. The public record identifies SwiftShader as the locus but does not disclose the faulty buffer operation because the Chromium issue remains restricted. Exploitation requires a user to load attacker-controlled HTML, and the documented consequence is an out-of-bounds memory read rather than memory modification or code execution.

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.
