Summary

CVE-2025-0611 is a high-severity Heap-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-122) vulnerability in Google Chrome. Its CVSS base score is 8.2 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 26th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

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-2025-0611 is an object corruption vulnerability in the V8 JavaScript engine within Google Chrome versions prior to 132.0.6834.110. The flaw, assigned CWE-122, can result in heap corruption when a victim visits a specially crafted HTML page, carrying a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.2 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and impacts limited to integrity and availability.

A remote attacker can trigger the issue without user interaction or authentication by serving a malicious web page, potentially allowing heap manipulation that leads to denial-of-service or limited integrity violations within the renderer process.

The referenced Chrome stable channel update and Chromium issue tracker entry indicate that the vulnerability is resolved by upgrading to version 132.0.6834.110 or later.

EPSS scores for the CVE rose from a starting value of 0.0064 to a peak of 0.0109, signaling modest but measurable growth in exploitation interest after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation (including fuzzing and memory-error detectors) can discover heap overflows after they have been coded.

Input validation enforces bounds checking on data written to heap buffers, directly stopping the overflow condition from being introduced.

Security engineering principles require use of memory-safe constructs and bounds-checked allocation routines that avoid introducing heap overflows.

Memory-protection mechanisms limit the ability of a heap overflow to execute attacker-controlled code or corrupt adjacent structures.
