DescriptionCVE.org

Buffer overflow in WebGL in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.169 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow in Google Chrome's WebGL implementation (all versions prior to 151.0.7922.169) enables a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox by luring a user to a crafted HTML page. The sandbox escape elevates the impact from renderer-level code execution to potential full OS-level compromise. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Attacker hosts crafted HTML with malicious WebGL content
Delivery
Victim browses to page via phishing or malvertising
Exploit
Heap overflow triggered in Chrome WebGL renderer
Execution
Renderer-process code execution achieved
Persist
Sandbox escape leverages overflow primitive
Impact
Arbitrary code executes at OS user privilege level

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to open a crafted HTML page in an unpatched version of Chrome (prior to 151.0.7922.169) - this is the sole prerequisite, as CVSS PR:N confirms no authentication is needed and WebGL is enabled by default in all standard Chrome installations. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.8 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects a high-severity, network-reachable flaw requiring only a single user interaction - visiting a webpage - with no authentication and low attack complexity. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts an HTML page containing malicious WebGL shader code or draw calls that trigger the heap buffer overflow in Chrome's WebGL implementation. A victim is directed to this page via a phishing link or malicious advertisement; upon rendering, the overflow corrupts heap metadata, enabling the attacker to achieve code execution within the renderer process and subsequently escape the Chrome sandbox to run arbitrary code at the OS user level. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.169 or later immediately; this is the vendor-confirmed patched release per the stable-channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0826575033.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, test Chrome 151.0.7922.169 or later in a controlled environment to validate compatibility with enterprise applications and policies. …
