Network-reachable via a web page (AV:N) with no auth (PR:N) but requiring the victim to open it (UI:R); the sandbox escape crosses a trust boundary (S:C) with total impact.

Use after free in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.46 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome's ANGLE graphics layer lets a remote attacker who lures a victim to a crafted HTML page break out of the renderer sandbox and gain code execution in a higher-privilege context. All Chrome desktop builds prior to 150.0.7871.46 are affected. Chromium rated the underlying use-after-free High severity; no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and SSVC records exploitation status as none.
Technical ContextAI
ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is Chromium's abstraction that translates WebGL/OpenGL ES calls into the platform's native graphics API (Direct3D on Windows, Metal on macOS, Vulkan/GL on Linux). It runs adjacent to the GPU process and is reachable from web content, making it a recurring browser attack surface. The flaw is CWE-416 (use-after-free): a graphics object is freed while a dangling reference remains, and subsequent use of that stale pointer corrupts memory. Because ANGLE straddles the boundary between the sandboxed renderer and the GPU process, a controllable UAF here can be leveraged to escape the sandbox rather than merely crashing the tab. CPE data confirms the affected component is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome (all versions below the fixed build).
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 150.0.7871.46 - update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.46 or later on all desktop platforms (verify via chrome://settings/help, which triggers the update and requires a browser restart to take effect). Enterprises using managed rollouts should push the pinned version through their update/relaunch enforcement policy to close the window between release and user relaunch. Details are in the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. If patching must be deferred, the practical compensating controls are: keep the browser sandbox enabled (do not run Chrome with --no-sandbox); disable hardware-accelerated graphics via chrome://settings or the HardwareAccelerationModeEnabled policy to reduce reachability of ANGLE - the trade-off is degraded rendering/video performance and higher CPU use; and restrict browsing to trusted sites or enforce Enhanced Safe Browsing, since exploitation requires the user to load a crafted page. Chromium-based browsers should be updated once they rebase onto the fixed Chromium build.
