Network-delivered via crafted page (AV:N) but needs user visit (UI:R) and, per vendor 'Medium'/'potentially', likely chaining and specific conditions (AC:H); sandbox escape yields scope change with high host impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in ANGLE in Google Chrome 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 (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) allows a remote attacker who lures a victim to a crafted HTML page to potentially break out of the renderer sandbox, undermining the browser's core containment boundary. The flaw stems from insufficient validation of untrusted input (CWE-20) in ANGLE, Chrome's WebGL/OpenGL-to-native translation layer. …

Impact
Execute code outside browser containment

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to actively load attacker-controlled web content in an unpatched Chrome build (before 151.0.7922.72) - the required user interaction (UI:R) is the primary limiting factor, as the attacker cannot trigger it without the user visiting the crafted HTML page. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals conflict and should be weighed carefully. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malicious HTML page containing specially formed WebGL/graphics content that triggers the ANGLE input-validation flaw, then lures a victim into visiting it via phishing, a malicious ad, or a compromised site. When the page loads in an unpatched Chrome, the crafted input drives ANGLE to potentially escape the renderer sandbox, allowing code to run outside the browser's containment - most plausibly as one link in a multi-stage exploit chain. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later on the desktop stable channel (Windows, macOS, Linux); Chrome typically applies this automatically, so ensure auto-update is enabled and restart the browser to complete installation, verifying via chrome://settings/help. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Issue an urgent security bulletin to all staff warning against visiting untrusted websites and verify your organization's Chrome version distribution through endpoint management tools. …
