We derestricted crbug.com/382005099 today which might just be my favorite bug of the last few years: bad interaction between WebAudio changing the CPU's handling of floats and V8 not expecting that. See crbug.com/382005099#comment1… for a PoC exploit. Also affected other browsers

I'm pretty excited about this (POE2 in particular)! It's basically what we've been preparing for with the PKEY-based hardware sandboxing prototype for V8 (docs.google.com/document/d/1…)

More HW security goodness from Arm: community.arm.com/arm-commun… vMTE (Virtual Memory Tagging) allows to use MTE in a more flexible way, consuming less RAM. POE2 allows to build efficient in-process sandboxes and isolation. More-or-less improvement over x86 Memory Protection Keys.

That time when @tehjh was just reviewing a new Linux kernel feature, found a security vuln, then went on a journey to see if he could exploit it from inside the Chrome Linux Desktop renderer sandbox (spoiler: very yes) googleprojectzero.blogspot.c…

We released our Fuzzilli-based V8 Sandbox fuzzer: github.com/googleprojectzero… It explores the heap to find interesting objects and corrupts them in a deterministic way using V8's memory corruption API. Happy fuzzing!

If you have a machine with PKEY support and recent Linux kernel you can now play around with hardware support for the V8 sandbox. When active, JS Wasm code has no write permissions outside the sandbox address space. To enable, set `v8_enable_sandbox_hardware_support = true`.

I tweeted before about the Apple CoreAudio issues found by Google TAG. Well, the fuzz harness used to find these issues is now included in Jackalope examples, see github.com/googleprojectzero… . Happy fuzzing! :)

The latest Apple security update contains fixes for three CoreAudio issues (CVE-2025-24160, CVE-2025-24161, CVE-2025-24163). These were found by Google Threat Analysis Group using Jackalope fuzzer.

I’m very excited to announce that we at V8 Security have finally published our first version of Fuzzilli that understands Wasm! Go check it out at github.com/googleprojectzero…. While we still have a way to go in improving it, we think it shows a promising approach!
