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: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 28 Apr 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 29 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 147.0.7727.138.

AI-suggested

The vendor advisory linked indicates a stable channel update for Chrome but does not explicitly confirm patch availability for this specific vulnerability. Users should update to Chrome version 147.0.7727.138 or later to ensure protection.

Description

An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the ANGLE component of Google Chrome on Windows versions prior to 147.0.7727.138. This flaw allows a remote attacker to cause an out of bounds memory read by tricking a user into visiting a crafted HTML page. The issue has a medium severity rating and a CVSS score of 4.3. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time. A vendor advisory is available but does not explicitly confirm patch status.

Impact

Successful exploitation allows a remote attacker to read memory out of bounds, potentially exposing sensitive information from the browser process memory. There is no indication of impact on integrity or availability. No known active exploits have been reported.

Summary

CVE-2026-7340 is an integer overflow vulnerability in the ANGLE graphics engine used by Google Chrome on Windows. It affects versions before 147.0.7727.138 and can be triggered remotely via a specially crafted HTML page, leading to an out of bounds memory read. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, and user interaction needed. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality but not integrity or availability.
