DescriptionCVE.org

Uninitialized Use in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome's ANGLE graphics layer (all versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) enables a remote attacker to exfiltrate sensitive data across site isolation boundaries by directing a victim to a crafted HTML page. The root cause is an uninitialized memory use (CWE-457) in ANGLE, Chrome's OpenGL ES translation layer, which may expose residual memory contents from other browser origins to attacker-controlled JavaScript. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Attacker crafts malicious HTML with WebGL payload
Delivery
Victim navigates to attacker-controlled URL
Exploit
Chrome renders page through ANGLE graphics layer
Execution
Uninitialized memory read triggered in ANGLE code path
Persist
Residual cross-origin data exposed to page script
Impact
Attacker JavaScript collects and exfiltrates leaked data

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the victim uses a Google Chrome desktop installation prior to version 151.0.7922.72 and actively navigates to an attacker-controlled HTML page - the CVSS UI:R (user interaction required) gate means passive drive-by delivery without navigation is not feasible, consistent with SSVC's 'Automatable: no' rating. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) captures the core risk profile: network-reachable, low complexity, no authentication required, but gated by mandatory user interaction (victim must navigate to the attacker's page). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker publishes a crafted HTML page containing WebGL or graphics API calls engineered to trigger the uninitialized memory path within ANGLE's rendering pipeline. A victim using unpatched Chrome navigates to the page - via phishing link or malicious advertisement - causing ANGLE to read and expose uninitialized memory that may contain residual cross-origin data, which the page's JavaScript collects and exfiltrates to an attacker-controlled server. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch resolving the uninitialized memory use in ANGLE; this is the primary and definitive fix per the Stable Channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
