Detect CVE-2026-3910: Google Chromium V8 Memory Buffer Bounds Violation in Sumo Logic CSE
Detects exploitation attempts and post-exploitation indicators related to CVE-2026-3910, an improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer (CWE-119) in Google Chromium's V8 JavaScript engine. This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild (CISA KEV) and may allow attackers to achieve remote code execution via a malicious web page, potentially leading to sandbox escape and full system compromise.
