CVE-2026-1862 is a high-severity type confusion vulnerability in the V8 JavaScript engine used by Google Chrome prior to version 144.0.7559.132. The flaw can be triggered when a target visits a crafted HTML page that causes V8 to mis-handle object types, leading to invalid memory access and heap corruption. In browser exploitation contexts, this class of bug can destabilize the renderer process and may be developed into arbitrary code execution within the browser process, depending on exploit reliability and any additional chaining required.
