CVSs scores:
Threat Advisory: CVE-2025-5063 and CVE-2025-5280
Summary
Both high severity vulnerabilities reside in Google Chrome and are exploitable via a specially crafted HTML page. CVE-2025-5063 is a “Use after free” vulnerability that resides in the compositing subsystem of the browser whereby improper memory management when the browser renders layered page elements leads to a potential hijack of control flows during DOM manipulations. CVE-2025-5280 is an “out of bounds” exploit in the JavaScript V8 engine that could potentially allow arbitrary code to execute outside of the JavaScript sandbox, meaning it’s run natively on the target system.
