Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Junk Data (T1001.001); ranked in the top 4% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2022-1364 is a type confusion vulnerability (CWE-843) in the V8 Turbofan component of Google Chrome versions prior to 100.0.4896.127. The flaw resides in the JavaScript engine's optimization pipeline and can be triggered by a specially crafted HTML page, resulting in heap corruption.

A remote attacker can exploit the issue by convincing a user to visit a malicious web page. Successful exploitation grants the attacker the ability to corrupt memory and achieve high-impact effects on confidentiality, integrity, and availability without requiring authentication.

Chrome release notes and the associated Gentoo advisory direct users to apply the stable-channel update that resolves the issue in version 100.0.4896.127 and later.

The EPSS score rose materially from lower values to a peak of 0.3373 on 2024-12-17 before receding to the current 0.1751, indicating renewed exploitation interest well after disclosure.
