CVE-2026-12008 is a critical use-after-free vulnerability in the DigitalCredentials component of Google Chrome prior to version 149.0.7827.115. The flaw can be triggered via a crafted HTML page and occurs after memory associated with an object is freed and subsequently reused, creating a memory safety condition that can corrupt process state. According to the available vendor description, exploitation requires the attacker to have already compromised the renderer process, after which the vulnerability may be used to cross the browser sandbox boundary. The issue affects Chromium-based browsers that had not yet incorporated the upstream fix.
