Integer overflow in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 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's ANGLE graphics layer prior to version 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. The flaw stems from an integer overflow (CWE-472) in ANGLE and requires user interaction (visiting a malicious page) plus a prior renderer compromise to chain into full sandbox escape. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.03%), but Google rates the underlying issue as Medium severity within Chromium.
Technical ContextAI
ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is the cross-platform translation layer Chrome uses to map WebGL/OpenGL ES calls onto the host system's native graphics APIs (Direct3D on Windows, Metal on macOS, Vulkan/OpenGL on Linux). Because ANGLE runs inside the GPU process - which sits at a higher privilege boundary than the renderer sandbox - memory corruption here is a classic stepping-stone for sandbox escapes. CWE-472 (External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter) is the CWE classifier assigned, though the underlying defect is described by Google as an integer overflow, suggesting arithmetic on untrusted size/count values from the renderer that is later used in buffer or pointer calculations within the GPU process, enabling out-of-bounds writes that the attacker leverages to escape sandboxing.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.53 - update via Chrome's built-in auto-updater or by visiting chrome://settings/help and restarting the browser, with reference to the stable channel announcement at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Enterprise fleets managed via group policy should push the update through Chrome Browser Cloud Management or the equivalent MDM channel and confirm the version on endpoints. As a compensating control until update, administrators can disable hardware-accelerated WebGL/GPU through the --disable-webgl and --disable-gpu command-line flags or the corresponding HardwareAccelerationModeEnabled enterprise policy, which removes the ANGLE attack surface at the cost of degraded graphics performance and broken WebGL-dependent applications such as Google Earth, Figma, and many in-browser games. Chromium-based browser users should monitor their vendor's release notes for the merged fix.
