Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-6307 is a type confusion vulnerability in Turbofan, the JavaScript optimizing compiler within the V8 engine of Google Chrome. It affects Google Chrome versions prior to 147.0.7727.101 and is classified under CWE-843 (Type Confusion). The Chromium security team rated it as High severity, with 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), indicating high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into visiting a malicious website containing a crafted HTML page. The type confusion in Turbofan enables the execution of arbitrary code within Chrome's sandbox, potentially allowing sandboxed code execution without requiring user privileges beyond interaction with the malicious page.
Mitigation involves updating to Google Chrome 147.0.7727.101 or later, as detailed in the Chrome Releases blog post announcing the stable channel update for desktop on April 15, 2026 (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/04/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_15.html). Additional technical details are tracked in the Chromium issue tracker (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/497404188).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation (including fuzzing and type-aware analysis) directly finds type-confusion flaws before deployment.
Engineering principles can require use of type-safe languages, static typing, and runtime type checks that structurally avoid allocating one type and accessing another.
Memory-protection controls limit the blast radius when a type-confusion access occurs but do not stop the flaw itself.

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent type-confusion flaws via safe typing, static analysis, and code review while the control itself addresses many additional weaknesses.

Security testing in development can detect type-confusion vulnerabilities through fuzzing and static analysis.
Secure SDLC mandates type-safe design and review that can catch type-confusion flaws.
Application security requirements can specify strong typing and interface contracts that reduce type confusion.
Secure architecture principles promote type-safe languages and memory-safety mechanisms that mitigate type confusion.
Secure coding standards directly forbid unsafe type casts and require static-analysis checks for type confusion.
