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

CVE-2026-3910 is a high-severity vulnerability stemming from an inappropriate implementation in the V8 JavaScript engine within Google Chrome versions prior to 146.0.7680.75. It allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside the browser's sandbox through a crafted HTML page. The issue is tagged with CWE-94 (Code Injection) and CWE-119 (Buffer Overflow) and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting network accessibility, low attack complexity, no required privileges, but user interaction needed, with high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability within unchanged scope.

A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into visiting a malicious website or opening a crafted HTML page. No authentication or privileges are required on the attacker's part, though the user must interact by loading the page. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary code execution confined to the sandbox, potentially allowing attackers to steal sensitive data, manipulate browser state, or chain with other flaws for broader compromise.

Mitigation is addressed in the Chrome stable channel update to version 146.0.7680.75 or later, as detailed in the Chromium release blog and associated issue tracker. Security practitioners should prioritize updating affected Chrome installations and advise users against visiting untrusted sites.

This vulnerability appears in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, indicating real-world exploitation is occurring or imminent, underscoring the need for immediate patching.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.

Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.

Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

Secure engineering principles require memory-safe design and coding that structurally avoids buffer-boundary violations.

Memory protection restricts exploitation impact of buffer overflows without eliminating the underlying coding flaw.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).

ID.RA-01 partial match

Vulnerability scanning and code analysis directly surface buffer-boundary flaws.

Receiving and triaging vulnerability disclosures commonly includes buffer-related reports.

Developer training on secure coding reduces introduction of memory-buffer errors.

Patching replaces vulnerable code containing buffer-boundary defects.

PR.DS-10 none match
prevents

PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

finds

Security testing in development catches out-of-bounds accesses before release, covering most instances of the weakness.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates memory-safety practices that directly prevent buffer-boundary violations.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify memory-safety rules, but do not prescribe implementation details.

prevents

Secure architecture and engineering principles include memory-safe design patterns that mitigate buffer overflows.

prevents

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.

none

Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
