Impact

Integer overflow in the V8 JavaScript engine present in Google Chrome prior to version 151.0.7922.109 allows a remote attacker to create a malicious HTML page that triggers the flaw and results in arbitrary code execution within the browser’s sandbox, effectively granting the attacker remote code execution privileges inside the sandboxed environment.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome browsers with a version lower than 151.0.7922.109 are affected; the fix was delivered in the stable channel update released in August 2026, as referenced by Google’s Chrome releases blog and the Chromium issue tracker.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a high severity vulnerability. No EPSS score is available and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires a remote attacker to supply a crafted HTML page that the victim’s browser processes, making the attack vector essentially remote via web content.

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Chrome to version 151.0.7922.109 or newer using the built‑in update mechanism or by downloading the latest release from the official Chrome website.
  • Configure Chrome to enable automatic updates so that security patches are applied without user intervention.
  • Ensure that the browser restarts automatically after applying an update, and consider restricting or blocking untrusted web content when older Chrome versions must remain in use temporarily.
