CVE-2026-3542 is a high-severity inappropriate implementation vulnerability in Google Chrome's V8 WebAssembly handling prior to version 145.0.7632.159. Flawed state management in the AsmJS parser can allow recursively parsed shift expressions within heap-access expressions to overwrite shared heap-access metadata. The resulting stale truncation position can corrupt the generated WebAssembly function byte stream, causing instruction or immediate bytes to be reinterpreted as WebAssembly opcodes. AsmJS-generated WebAssembly is treated as trusted by the decoder, bypassing validation checks ordinarily applied to untrusted WebAssembly input. A remote attacker can trigger the condition through a crafted HTML page containing malicious AsmJS/WebAssembly content, resulting in out-of-bounds memory access.
