Chromium rates it High severity; the CVSS 9.6 reflects a scope-changing sandbox escape whose only gating factor is that the user opens a malicious page. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to open or be redirected to an attacker-controlled crafted HTML page in a vulnerable Chrome build (before 152.0.7977.65) - this user interaction (UI:R) is the primary limiting factor. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals partly conflict. … 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 victim to visit it via a phishing link, malvertising, or a compromised site. When the page renders, the ANGLE out-of-bounds write corrupts memory and is chained to escape the renderer sandbox and run attacker code on the host. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: 152.0.7977.65 - update Google Chrome to 152.0.7977.65 or later on the Stable channel, per the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
