Summary

CVE-2026-7337 is a high-severity Type Confusion (CWE-843) vulnerability in Google Chrome. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 27th 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 SA-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

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

CVE-2026-7337 is a type confusion vulnerability in the V8 JavaScript and WebAssembly engine within Google Chrome versions prior to 147.0.7727.138. This flaw, classified under CWE-843, enables a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside the browser's sandbox through a specially crafted HTML page. The vulnerability carries a Chromium security severity rating of High and 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), highlighting its potential for significant impact despite requiring user interaction.

A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into visiting a malicious website or opening a crafted HTML page. No special privileges are needed, as it requires only network access and low complexity, but user interaction is necessary to trigger the type confusion in V8. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution confined to the sandboxed environment, potentially leading to high levels of confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts within the browser context.

Mitigation details are outlined in the Chrome Releases blog post announcing the stable channel update for desktop, which addresses this issue in version 147.0.7727.138 and later. Additional technical information is available in the Chromium issue tracker at issues.chromium.org/issues/500880819. Security practitioners should ensure Chrome is updated to the patched version to prevent exploitation.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation (including fuzzing and type-aware analysis) directly finds type-confusion flaws before deployment.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Engineering principles can require use of type-safe languages, static typing, and runtime type checks that structurally avoid allocating one type and accessing another.

SI-16 Memory Protection partial match

Memory-protection controls limit the blast radius when a type-confusion access occurs but do not stop the flaw itself.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

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

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development can detect type-confusion vulnerabilities through fuzzing and static analysis.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC mandates type-safe design and review that can catch type-confusion flaws.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can specify strong typing and interface contracts that reduce type confusion.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles promote type-safe languages and memory-safety mechanisms that mitigate type confusion.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards directly forbid unsafe type casts and require static-analysis checks for type confusion.
