Summary

CVE-2026-15114 is a high-severity Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) vulnerability in Google Chrome. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Client Execution (T1203); ranked at the 9th 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 SC-18 (Mobile Code) and SI-3 (Malicious Code Protection) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Out of bounds read and write in Codecs in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.115 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted video file. (Chromium security severity: High)

CWE(s)

Related Threats

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution Execution
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in client applications to execute code.
T1204.002 Malicious File Execution
An adversary may rely upon a user opening a malicious file in order to gain execution.
Why these techniques?

OOB read/write in Chrome's video codec enables client-side exploitation via a crafted video file (T1204.002), which can lead to heap corruption and arbitrary code execution (T1203).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

SC-18 restricts mobile code and untrusted content execution, directly blocking the crafted video file that triggers the out-of-bounds read/write in Chrome's codec before heap corruption occurs.

preventdetect

SI-3 deploys malicious-code protection mechanisms that can detect and block the specially crafted video file attempting to exploit the codec vulnerability.

prevent

SI-2 requires timely patching of identified flaws, mitigating the CVE once the Chrome update to 150.0.7871.115 is applied across the enterprise.

detects

Security testing in development and acceptance includes fuzzing and static analysis that detect out-of-bounds read defects before release.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
detects

Logging can record evidence of an out-of-bounds read but does not prevent the weakness itself.

prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and bounds checking that directly prevent out-of-bounds reads.

prevents

Application security requirements include explicit bounds and memory-safety specifications that mitigate buffer over-reads.

prevents

Secure system architecture and engineering principles require memory-safe design patterns and runtime protections against out-of-bounds access.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe pointer arithmetic and mandate bounds-checked reads, eliminating CWE-125.
