# Inappropriate implementation in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 128.0.6613.84 allowed a remote attacker to potentially…

Google Chromium's V8 JavaScript engine has an inappropriate implementation flaw that lets a remote attacker corrupt heap memory using a crafted HTML page. Affected browsers include Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Opera, and CISA reports it is being exploited in the wild.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- vendor:Google Chromium V8 affected ? fixed ?
- vendor:google chrome affected < 128.0.6613.84 fixed 128.0.6613.84
- vendor:microsoft edge chromium affected < 128.0.2739.42 fixed 128.0.2739.42

## How to check

Open the browser's version page (chrome://version in Chrome, edge://version in Edge) and compare against the fixed version from the vendor advisory; fixed version unknown from sources.

## Fix

Update Chrome, Edge, Opera or other Chromium-based browsers to the latest release per the vendor advisory; CISA says apply vendor mitigations or discontinue use if unavailable.

## From the sources

Google Chromium V8 contains an inappropriate implementation vulnerability that allows a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. This vulnerability could affect multiple web browsers that utilize Chromium, including, but not limited to, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera.

CISA required action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
