High CVSS 8.8

CVE-2026-16421

Google Chrome

Inappropriate implementation in WebAudio in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.182 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network and without authentication — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
The application accepts input without checking it, opening the door to unintended behaviour.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
