CVE-2023-3420 is a high-severity type confusion vulnerability in the V8 JavaScript engine in Google Chrome. It affects Chrome versions prior to 114.0.5735.198, including desktop releases before 114.0.5735.198/199 on Windows and before 114.0.5735.198 on Linux and macOS. The flaw can be triggered by a remote attacker through a crafted HTML page, leading to heap corruption in the browser process. Type confusion in V8 can cause the engine to treat an object as an incompatible type during JavaScript execution, creating unsafe memory access conditions that may be exploitable for further compromise.
