AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Delivered via a web page (AV:N/UI:R) but gated behind a prior renderer compromise making it a chained exploit (AC:H); sandbox escape crosses a trust boundary (S:C) with full C/I/A impact.

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Dawn in Google Chrome on Android prior to 150.0.7871.46 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome on Android (versions prior to 150.0.7871.46) lets an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page that abuses insufficient input validation in the Dawn WebGPU component. Google rates the Chromium severity as High, and the flaw carries a CVSS 8.3 with a scope-changing impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA SSVC records exploitation status as none.
Technical ContextAI
Dawn is Chromium's implementation of the WebGPU API - the layer that translates web-facing GPU commands into calls against native graphics backends (Vulkan/OpenGL ES on Android). Because Dawn processes GPU work partly on behalf of untrusted web content and bridges the sandboxed renderer to more privileged GPU/browser process boundaries, a validation gap here is a classic sandbox-escape surface. The root cause is classified as CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): untrusted input reaching Dawn is not adequately validated, so a malicious renderer can supply crafted data that violates assumptions in the more privileged process. The only CPE published is the generic cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*, which does not by itself encode the Android-specific and version-specific scope stated in the description.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 150.0.7871.46 - update Google Chrome on Android to 150.0.7871.46 or later, which Chrome typically delivers automatically via the Play Store, so verify the installed version under chrome://version and force an update if devices are pinned to an older build. Consult the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html and the tracking issue https://issues.chromium.org/issues/520180257. As an interim compensating control before patching, disable WebGPU by setting the chrome://flags/#enable-unsafe-webgpu flag to Disabled (or blocking WebGPU via enterprise policy), which removes the vulnerable Dawn attack surface at the cost of breaking sites that rely on GPU-accelerated WebGPU workloads; enterprise fleets can also enforce automatic Chrome updates via managed Play/Chrome policy to close the window.
