The vulnerability involves a previously unknown flaw in Chrome's code, meaning users running unpatched versions of the browser are at risk of compromise. The flaw pertains to a "type confusion" vulnerability in the V8 JavaScript engine for Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers, which would include Microsoft's Edge and Brave.
