DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in ANGLE in Google Chrome on Mac 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 layer on macOS (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) lets an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page. Rated High by Chromium and carrying a CVSS 9.6 due to the scope change from renderer to host, it enables full compromise of the browser process. …

Escape sandbox to browser process
Impact

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the attacker has ALREADY compromised the renderer process - this is a second-stage sandbox-escape bug, not a standalone entry point. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals are mixed and worth weighing carefully. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A victim visits a malicious or compromised web page that first exploits a separate renderer bug to gain code execution inside Chrome's sandboxed renderer, then feeds crafted graphics input through ANGLE to trigger the out-of-bounds condition and escape the sandbox into the browser process. Because scope changes on success, the attacker gains control at a higher privilege level than the renderer. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later on macOS via the Stable channel (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html); Chrome typically auto-updates, so verify the running version under chrome://settings/help and relaunch to apply. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all macOS devices running Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 and notify users to avoid browser use on sensitive tasks until patching completes; communicate patch timeline to leadership. …
