Yesterday, Google addressed another zero-day vulnerability affecting Google Chrome. The Flashpoint Intel Team quickly published an alert to VulnDB customers and have been closely tracking the vulnerability since.

This is the third zero-day vulnerability reported in the popular browser so far this year. Exploitation of the vulnerability was noticed by Google’s own Threat Analysis Group (TAG), but details about active exploitation are currently limited.

While the vulnerability is reported in Google Chrome, the root cause lies within the bundled V8 JavaScript engine that is responsible for executing JavaScript when browsing websites. As a result, the vulnerability may affect other products bundling V8.
