CVE-2026-10009
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedInteger overflow in Skia in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.216 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceInteger overflow vulnerability in Skia (2D graphics library) in Google Chrome versions prior to 148.0.7778.216 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to achieve arbitrary code execution within the sandbox boundary via a specially crafted HTML page.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Find installed Google Chrome versionOpen chrome://version in the address bar or go to Help > About Google Chrome. The version number appears next to 'Google Chrome' at the top.Affected if The displayed version is less than 148.0.7778.216
-
Check Chrome version from command lineRun 'google-chrome --version' on Linux, 'chrome --version' on Windows via cmd, or 'grep -i google ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Last\ Version' on macOS.Affected if The reported version number is lower than 148.0.7778.216 or 148.0.7778.215
-
Identify Chrome channel (if using Canary/Beta/Dev)Navigate to chrome://version and look at the 'Channel' field, or check via Help > About Google Chrome where the channel is sometimes displayed.Affected if Running an older stable, beta, or dev channel build that has not yet received the 148.0.7778.216 update
-
Assess exposure to untrusted HTML contentDetermine whether Chrome is used to browse untrusted websites, open HTML files from external sources, or rendered in embedded contexts (webviews, extensions with broad permissions).Affected if Chrome processes untrusted HTML without additional isolation layers (like sandboxing disabled via --no-sandbox flag)
You are affected if Google Chrome is installed at a version lower than 148.0.7778.216 and the browser processes potentially malicious HTML content from untrusted sources.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
