Chrome 152 patches sixth in-wild V8 type confusion zero-day CVE-2026-85046

Sixth exploited V8 type confusion zero-day fixed in Chrome 152 with minimal disclosure. Evidence trail shows repeated memory corruption patterns but no supporting telemetry contracts or independent confirmation. Immediate patching required; further in-wild exploits probable before Q3 2026.

Enterprises should force-update within 48 hours and monitor for anomalous V8 process crashes. Expect at least one additional V8 zero-day before September given the current cadence and unchanged bounty structure.

⚡ Prediction

Google: CVE-2026-85046 exploitation volume will exceed 10,000 unique endpoints by 1 July 2026 per internal telemetry thresholds.
