Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Skia in Google Chrome on Android prior to 148.0.7778.216 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome on Android prior to 148.0.7778.216 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page targeting the Skia graphics library. Exploitation requires user interaction (visiting a malicious page) and chained renderer compromise, raising attack complexity, but the resulting scope change and full CIA impact make it a high-severity issue. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.05%, 15th percentile).
Technical ContextAI
The flaw resides in Skia, the open-source 2D graphics library used by Chromium (and other projects) to rasterize vector graphics, fonts, and images. Per CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation), Skia fails to adequately validate untrusted input supplied via crafted HTML/graphics content, which a renderer-resident attacker can leverage to corrupt state in a more privileged process and escape the sandbox boundary that normally isolates the renderer from the host OS. The CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*) indicates Chrome on Android is the affected product, and because Skia is shared with Chromium-derived browsers, downstream Chromium forks on Android may also be impacted pending their own backports.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome on Android to 148.0.7778.216 or later, per the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0877304591.html); enterprises managing Android fleets via MDM should push the update through Google Play managed configurations. No vendor-published workaround exists, but because exploitation requires the renderer to be compromised first, compensating controls focus on preventing that initial step: enforce Site Isolation (default in modern Chrome), restrict installation of untrusted browser extensions, and where feasible deploy Android Enterprise work profiles that block sideloaded apps and untrusted browsing, accepting the trade-off of reduced user flexibility. For high-risk users, enable Chrome's Enhanced Safe Browsing and consider Android's lockdown mode equivalents, noting these add latency to page loads and may break some legitimately complex sites. Downstream Chromium-based Android browsers should be monitored for their own patched releases.
