Uninitialized Use in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Uninitialized memory read in Chrome's ANGLE graphics layer prior to version 149.0.7827.53 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive process memory contents through a crafted HTML page, with no authentication required but mandatory user interaction. The vulnerability carries a CVSS Confidentiality impact of High (C:H), indicating potentially significant data exposure despite the Medium overall score of 6.5. EPSS is low at 0.03% (11th percentile) and no CISA KEV listing exists, meaning no public exploit or confirmed widespread exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is Chrome's cross-platform graphics abstraction layer that translates OpenGL ES API calls to native graphics APIs including DirectX (Windows), Metal (macOS/iOS), and Vulkan. CWE-457 (Use of Uninitialized Variable) describes a condition where memory is allocated but not zeroed before use; when that memory is later read and its contents returned to a caller, previously resident heap or stack data may be disclosed. In a browser context, ANGLE processes WebGL and Canvas 2D rendering calls supplied by untrusted web content, making this attack surface directly reachable via crafted HTML. Graphics process memory can contain rendered frame data, textures, cross-origin image fragments, or other sensitive artifacts depending on browser activity at the time of exploitation. No CPE strings were provided in source data; the affected component is identified as ANGLE within Google Chrome as confirmed by the Chrome Releases advisory and ENISA EUVD-2026-34584.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.53 or later - this is the vendor-released patch documented in the Chrome Stable Channel Update advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Chrome's automatic update mechanism handles this for most end users; enterprise administrators using Chrome Browser Cloud Management or group policy should verify that managed endpoints have received and applied the 149.0.7827.53 update. As a pre-patch compensating control, enforcing Chrome's Site Isolation policy (--site-per-process, enabled by default in modern Chrome) limits cross-origin memory reuse within the renderer, partially reducing the information accessible via ANGLE memory disclosure - however, this does not patch the underlying CWE-457 condition and its effectiveness depends on implementation completeness. Disabling WebGL via enterprise policy (Chromebook or managed Chrome) eliminates the primary ANGLE attack surface but will break web applications relying on hardware-accelerated graphics, representing a significant functionality trade-off. Blocking untrusted external HTML sources via proxy or DNS-level controls reduces phishing delivery vectors but does not address the vulnerability directly.
