DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in ANGLE in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome's ANGLE graphics layer on Windows (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) lets a remote attacker who lures a victim to a crafted HTML page trigger a use-after-free that can potentially break out of the renderer/GPU sandbox. Google rated the Chromium security severity Medium and has shipped a fix; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the EPSS score is low (0.17%, 7th percentile), indicating limited near-term exploitation likelihood despite the serious impact class.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim running an unpatched Google Chrome (prior to 151.0.7922.72) on Windows to actively load attacker-controlled content - the description specifies a 'crafted HTML page,' so the concrete prerequisite is that the user navigates to or renders that page (CVSS UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals are mixed and point to a real-but-not-urgent issue. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts or injects a malicious HTML page containing crafted WebGL/graphics content and lures a Windows Chrome user to visit it via link, ad, or compromised site. Rendering the page triggers the use-after-free in ANGLE inside the GPU process, which the attacker manipulates to corrupt memory and potentially escape the sandbox toward broader code execution. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later on Windows via the Chrome stable channel (Settings > About Chrome triggers the update; 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.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, communicate the vulnerability to Chrome users and request immediate browser updates to version 151.0.7922.72 or later; enable auto-update where policy permits and monitor security feeds for exploitation signals. …
