Impact
A type confusion vulnerability in V8 can let an attacker execute arbitrary code inside the Chrome renderer sandbox by loading a specially crafted HTML page. The flaw is a mismatch between expected and actual JavaScript types, allowing control over memory to create malformed objects that are later used in privileged code paths. This weakness corresponds to CWE-843.
Affected Systems
Google Chrome versions earlier than 149.0.7827.53 are affected.
Risk and Exploitability
The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.8, indicating high severity, and is exploitable from a remote web page, allowing code execution within the sandbox. No EPSS value is available, and it is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The attack vector is likely a crafted URL or embedded script that a user opens or visits in Chrome.
