Use-after-free in V8 in Google Chrome

IdentifiersCVE-2026-14432CWE-416· Use After Free

CVE-2026-14432 is a use-after-free memory corruption vulnerability in the V8 JavaScript engine in Google Chrome. It affects Chrome versions prior to 150.0.7871.46. According to the provided content, a remote attacker can trigger the flaw by causing a target to load a crafted HTML page, resulting in arbitrary code execution within the browser sandbox. The issue is described as a V8 use-after-free condition and therefore falls within memory-lifetime management errors that can lead to controlled memory reuse and code execution.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the Chrome renderer/browser sandbox after a user opens a crafted HTML page. The provided content indicates high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact under CVSS 3.1, but the code execution is stated to occur inside the sandbox rather than as a full sandbox escape.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Apply the vendor update as the primary mitigation. Until patching is completed, reduce exposure by avoiding untrusted or attacker-controlled HTML content and limiting user access to suspicious websites or documents that may render crafted web content. Keeping Chrome auto-update enabled is also advised in the provided content.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.46 or later. Ensure Chrome auto-update is enabled so patched builds are deployed promptly across affected systems.
