DescriptionCVE.org

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

AnalysisAI

Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome's WebGL implementation on Android allows a remote attacker to read memory contents belonging to other origins via a crafted HTML page. Affected versions are all Chrome for Android releases prior to 151.0.7922.72. The vulnerability stems from uninitialized memory use (CWE-457) in the WebGL subsystem, exposing stale memory that may contain sensitive cross-origin data. No public exploit code exists and EPSS sits at 0.23% (14th percentile), indicating low current exploitation probability; this is not listed in CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

WebGL (Web Graphics Library) is a browser API exposing OpenGL ES capabilities to JavaScript for 2D and 3D rendering. CWE-457 (Use of Uninitialized Variable) describes a root cause where memory or a variable is read before being properly initialized, potentially exposing whatever data previously occupied that memory region. In this case, the Chrome WebGL implementation on Android fails to zero or otherwise initialize a memory region before it is accessible to a web page's JavaScript context, allowing a crafted page to observe residual memory contents that may originate from a different, protected origin. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers Google Chrome broadly; the Android platform constraint is specified in the CVE description and is critical to scoping the affected surface.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome for Android to version 151.0.7922.72 or later. The patch is available via the Chrome Stable Channel update documented at chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Android users should allow automatic Chrome updates via Google Play or manually trigger an update in Play Store. If immediate patching is operationally constrained, a compensating control is to restrict or disable WebGL in managed Chrome deployments via the WebGLEnabled enterprise policy - note this will break any web applications relying on WebGL rendering. Given the information-disclosure-only impact and low EPSS, this vulnerability fits a standard patch-cycle response rather than emergency remediation.
