CVE-2025-7656 is a high-severity integer overflow vulnerability in the V8 JavaScript engine used by Google Chrome. It affects Google Chrome prior to version 138.0.7204.157. The flaw can be triggered when a target processes attacker-controlled web content, such as a crafted HTML page, leading to heap corruption. Available reporting also associates the issue with the V8 Maglev JIT compiler. Because the vulnerability corrupts heap state in a browser process handling untrusted JavaScript and HTML content, successful exploitation may enable further memory corruption outcomes beyond a crash, depending on exploit reliability and surrounding mitigations.
