Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: High: There is total loss of availability, resulting in the attacker being able to fully deny access to resources in the impacted component; this loss is either sustained (while the attacker continues to deliver the attack) or persistent (the condition persists even after the attack has completed). Alternatively, the attacker has the ability to deny some availability, but the loss of availability presents a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component (e.g., the attacker cannot disrupt existing connections, but can prevent new connections; the attacker can repeatedly exploit a vulnerability that, in each instance of a successful attack, leaks a only small amount of memory, but after repeated exploitation causes a service to become completely unavailable).

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 20 Mar 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 31 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Google Chrome to 146.0.7680.153.

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2026-4464, organizations should immediately update Google Chrome to version 146.0.7680.153 or later once the patch is available. Until patched, consider implementing browser security policies that restrict or sandbox untrusted web content, such as enabling site isolation and disabling unnecessary plugins or extensions that could increase attack surface. Employ network-level protections like web filtering and intrusion prevention systems to block access to known malicious sites. Educate users about the risks of interacting with untrusted web content and phishing attempts to reduce the likelihood of triggering the exploit. Monitor browser crash logs and unusual network activity for signs of exploitation attempts. For high-risk environments, consider deploying endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions capable of detecting anomalous behavior related to memory corruption exploits. Maintain a robust patch management process to ensure timely application of security updates. Additionally, review and harden browser configurations to minimize exposure to web-based threats.

Description

Integer overflow in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 146.0.7680.153 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

Impact

The potential impact of CVE-2026-4464 is significant for organizations worldwide. Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution within the context of the browser, enabling attackers to bypass security controls, steal sensitive data, install malware, or move laterally within networks. The compromise of browser security can also facilitate phishing, credential theft, and espionage activities. Given Chrome's dominant market share in enterprise and consumer environments, a large number of users and organizations are exposed. The vulnerability affects confidentiality by allowing data leakage, integrity by enabling unauthorized code execution, and availability by causing browser crashes or system instability. Organizations relying heavily on web applications and internet-facing services are particularly vulnerable. The requirement for user interaction means social engineering or drive-by download attacks could be used to trigger the exploit. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate it, as attackers may develop exploits rapidly after public disclosure. Failure to patch promptly could result in widespread exploitation and significant operational and reputational damage.
