Summary

CVE-2026-16416 is a critical-severity Integer Overflow or Wraparound (CWE-190) vulnerability in Google Chrome. Its CVSS base score is 9.3 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 1th 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-39 (Process Isolation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces validation of network-supplied data to block integer overflows that lead to memory corruption and sandbox escape.

prevent

Requires process isolation boundaries that the Chromecast sandbox relies on, preventing escape even if an overflow occurs.

prevent

Enforces isolation of security-critical functions from untrusted code paths triggered by malicious Chromecast traffic.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require use of safe arithmetic, bounds checks, and testing that prevent integer overflows.

detects

Security testing in development can detect integer overflows before release.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and arithmetic checks that prevent integer overflows.

degrades

Application security requirements include bounds checking and safe arithmetic to avoid overflow conditions.

degrades

Secure architecture principles require defensive coding patterns that mitigate integer wraparound risks.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe integer operations and mandate overflow-safe constructs.
