Google · Chromium V8
The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds write in the V8 JavaScript engine component of Google Chrome, which is Google's Chromium V8 product. An attacker who can get a victim to open a crafted HTML page can execute arbitrary code inside the browser sandbox, with no authentication required but user interaction needed to load the page.
Out of bounds write in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 153.0.8010.36 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
