Out of bounds write in ANGLE in Google Chrome on on Windows prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Google Chrome on Windows (versions prior to 152.0.7977.65) stems from an out-of-bounds write in ANGLE, Chrome's OpenGL ES abstraction layer used for GPU rendering. A remote attacker who lures a victim to a crafted HTML page can corrupt memory in the GPU process and potentially execute arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox, giving control of the underlying host. …

Impact
Escape sandbox onto Windows host

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to open or navigate to an attacker-controlled crafted HTML page in Google Chrome on Windows (UI:R), and Chrome must be running a version prior to 152.0.7977.65 with GPU/ANGLE rendering active (the default). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals are mixed but weighted toward priority patching. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a malicious web page containing crafted WebGL/graphics content and entices a victim to visit it (via phishing link, malicious ad, or compromised site). When Chrome's ANGLE component renders the content in the GPU process, the out-of-bounds write corrupts memory and can be chained to execute attacker code outside the sandbox on the Windows host. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 152.0.7977.65 or later on Windows via the Chrome stable channel, then fully restart the browser to load the new binary (Chrome auto-updates but the fix only takes effect after relaunch). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Windows endpoints running Chrome versions prior to 152.0.7977.65 using endpoint inventory tools and notify system owners of patch criticality. …
