CVE-2016-5128 is a critical vulnerability in Google V8, affecting versions prior to 5.2.361.27, and consequently Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.82. This flaw allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy by manipulating API interceptors to modify store targets without proper property setting. With a CVSSv3 score of 8.8 (High), it presents a high risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
