We just received a $250,000 Chrome Full Chain bonus! 🎉
We've claimed the second Full Chain bonus of 2026. Only two remain!
Under the rules, every vulnerability had to be a non-duplicate 0-day, and the entire exploit chain had to be completed before any of them were patched.
Huge thanks to @nebusecurity for discovering a V8 vulnerability in just a single day! Also, a big thank you to @_deayzl for collaborating with me on the V8 Heap Sandbox research.
P.S. KVM escapes have been getting a lot of attention. I actually captured the Full VM Escape flag in KVMCTF about three months ago. Hopefully, I'll be able to share that research soon, too!
A little research recap for 2026 so far:
• 8 v8CTF submissions (7 accepted, 1 pending)
• 9 V8 bugs
• 19 V8 SBX
Learned a lot digging into V8 this year. Still plenty more to explore :)
Bad Epoll: missed by Mythos.
Mythos found one critical race in Linux epoll.
The other was hiding in a ~6-instruction race window.
I found and exploited it as CVE-2026-46242: 99% reliable root on Google kernelCTF, with potential Android impact.

Yesterday we dropped our latest write-up on a previous Chrome 0-day.
Today we got assigned yet another Chrome 0-day: CVE-2026-7899 — along with a $55,000 bounty from Google
If you haven’t read yesterday’s blog yet, go check it out down below. It’s a fun one.
Now it’s time for us to prepare the next few write-ups. A Chrome RCE and a Linux kernel local privilege escalation. Stay tuned 👀

My 2nd RCE in Google Cloud production (Borg) in less than 3 months...
I'm at $600k in total rewards from Google VRP in the past few months. Still can't believe it.

Demonstrating controlled read or write
Mojom interfaces to demonstrate controlled reads or controlled writes in privileged processes are available in vrp_flags.mojom.
Interesting talk coming up: https://t.co/r1WOU4tZ4f
I think there is sometimes a misconception that interpreters are somehow inherently more secure than JITs. Ultimately, it’s the optimizations added on top that matter. Both can get sufficiently complex and bug-dense (or not).
