In April, we reported a severe vulnerability in V8, the JavaScript and WebAssembly engine used by Chrome. This vulnerability enabled remote code execution in Chrome’s renderer process. This writeup will cover the technical details of the vulnerability. The research was performed with internal tool Mnemosyne, by Project WhatForLunch browser security team at NebuSec, led by @xia0o0o0o and @rcv
Why it matters: This research reveals deep compiler-level optimization pitfalls in modern JIT/WASM engines that lead to renderer sandbox escapes.
