CVE-2026-6305 is a high-severity heap buffer overflow in PDFium affecting Google Chrome versions prior to 147.0.7727.101. The flaw can be triggered by a crafted PDF document and allows a remote attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution within Chrome’s sandboxed renderer context. The issue is in the PDFium component used for PDF processing, and the vulnerability arises from improper bounds handling on heap-allocated memory during PDF parsing or rendering, leading to memory corruption.
