DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 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's ANGLE graphics component (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page. Rated High by Chromium with a CVSS 9.6 due to scope change and full CIA impact, though it requires a pre-existing renderer compromise as a chained prerequisite. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Lure victim to crafted HTML page
Delivery
Exploit separate renderer bug for code execution
Exploit
Send malformed graphics input to ANGLE
Execution
Trigger improper input validation in GPU process
Persist
Escape sandbox to higher privilege
Impact
Full control of browser process

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to have ALREADY compromised the renderer process (per the description) - this bug alone is a second-stage sandbox escape, not an initial entry point. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals are mixed and should be read together. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker lures a user to a malicious or compromised web page that first exploits a separate renderer vulnerability to gain code execution inside the sandboxed renderer, then leverages this ANGLE input-validation flaw to send crafted graphics commands that escape the sandbox into the higher-privileged GPU/browser process. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, so this remains a plausible chained scenario rather than a confirmed in-the-wild attack.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: Chrome 151.0.7922.72 - update to this build or later on the Stable channel via the built-in updater (chrome://settings/help) and relaunch to apply, per the Chrome Releases 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.
