DescriptionNVD

Use after free in GPU in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome desktop prior to 150.0.7871.47 stems from a use-after-free in the GPU process, letting a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page. Google rates the Chromium severity as Critical, and a fix is available in the Stable channel update. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is low at 0.22% (13th percentile).

Technical ContextAI

The flaw is a CWE-416 use-after-free in Chrome's GPU process, the privileged component that handles GPU-accelerated rendering, compositing, and WebGL/WebGPU commands on behalf of sandboxed renderer processes over Chromium's Mojo IPC interfaces. In Chromium's multi-process security model, renderer processes are heavily sandboxed while the GPU process runs at higher privilege; a dangling pointer to freed memory in the GPU process can be reclaimed and manipulated to corrupt memory in that more-privileged context, enabling code execution outside the renderer sandbox. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies Google Chrome (all desktop builds before the fixed version) as the affected product; the underlying Chromium engine means Chromium-derived browsers may share the defect, though only Google Chrome is enumerated here.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 150.0.7871.47 - upgrade Google Chrome desktop to 150.0.7871.47 or later via the Stable channel and restart the browser to apply, per the advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. Chrome auto-updates for most users, so confirm the running version under chrome://settings/help and force a relaunch across managed fleets. As an interim compensating control before patching, you can reduce GPU-process attack surface by launching Chrome with GPU acceleration disabled (the --disable-gpu flag or the 'Use graphics acceleration when available' setting turned off), which forces software rendering and can blunt GPU-process exploitation - with the trade-off of degraded rendering performance and broken WebGL/WebGPU/hardware-video features. Since exploitation first requires a compromised renderer, keeping Chrome and its renderer-side components fully patched and enabling Enhanced Safe Browsing further limits the initial foothold needed to reach this bug.
