DescriptionCVE.org

Out of bounds read 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

Out-of-bounds read in Chrome's ANGLE graphics abstraction layer (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) can be leveraged by an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to potentially escape the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page. Google rates the Chromium severity High and has shipped a fixed Stable-channel build; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score is low (0.29%, 21st percentile), consistent with a second-stage bug rather than a standalone drive-by. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Compromise renderer via separate exploit
Delivery
Serve crafted HTML with malformed WebGL calls
Exploit
Trigger out-of-bounds read in ANGLE
Execution
Leak GPU-process memory to defeat ASLR
Impact
Escape browser sandbox onto host

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the attacker has ALREADY compromised the Chrome renderer process - this is an explicit, concrete precondition stated in the CVE, not a default drive-by scenario; the OOB read in ANGLE is then reached via a crafted HTML page that the compromised renderer processes. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 8.8) reflects the classic Chrome scoring model where a malicious web page reached via user navigation is treated as network, low-complexity, no-privileges with user interaction. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker first exploits a separate renderer vulnerability to gain code execution inside a sandboxed Chrome renderer, then serves or navigates that renderer to a crafted HTML page issuing malformed WebGL/graphics calls that trigger the ANGLE out-of-bounds read. The leaked GPU-process memory is used to defeat ASLR and, combined with further primitives, to break out of the sandbox onto the host. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later on the Stable desktop channel, per the Chrome release advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html); most installs auto-update, so verify via chrome://settings/help and relaunch to apply. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, notify administrators and security teams of Chrome's sandbox escape vulnerability; immediately scan enterprise endpoints to identify installations of Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 and assess exposure across user populations. …
