CVE-2026-4460
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.

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 confidenceAn out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in Skia, Google Chrome's graphics rendering library, prior to version 146.0.7680.153. A remote attacker can exploit this by tricking users into visiting a crafted HTML page, allowing unauthorized memory reads.

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.
-
Check Google Chrome versionNavigate to chrome://settings/help in the Chrome browser, or run 'google-chrome --version' (Linux) or 'chrome --version' (Windows) from command lineAffected if The displayed version number is lower than 146.0.7680.153
-
Verify Skia component versionChrome bundles Skia internally; there is no separate version check. The Chrome version directly corresponds to the bundled Skia versionAffected if Chrome version is below 146.0.7680.153, meaning the bundled Skia is also vulnerable
-
Confirm Chrome is the browser in useIdentify if Google Chrome (not Chromium-based alternatives like Edge, Brave, or Vivaldi) is the primary browser. These browsers may bundle different Skia versionsAffected if Google Chrome specifically is in use and its version falls below 146.0.7680.153
If the installed Google Chrome version is less than 146.0.7680.153, the environment contains the vulnerable Skia out-of-bounds read component.
