Type confusion in Accessibility in Google Chrome on on Windows prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape via type confusion in Google Chrome's Accessibility component on Windows enables arbitrary code execution outside the browser sandbox. Affecting all Chrome versions prior to 152.0.7977.65 on Windows, the flaw requires an attacker to have already compromised the renderer process - making this a critical second-stage exploit in a multi-step attack chain. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Deliver crafted HTML page to Windows Chrome user
Delivery
Exploit separate renderer vulnerability (prerequisite)
Exploit
Achieve code execution inside sandboxed renderer
Execution
Trigger type confusion in Accessibility component
Persist
Corrupt object type across sandbox boundary
Impact
Execute arbitrary code outside Chrome sandbox on host OS

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two chained conditions: first, the attacker must have already compromised the Chrome renderer process through a separate, unspecified vulnerability - the renderer compromise is an explicit prerequisite stated in the CVE description. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.3 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) accurately captures the high severity but also the non-trivial exploitation complexity. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A threat actor first exploits a separate renderer-level vulnerability (e.g., a V8 JavaScript engine bug) via a crafted HTML page visited by a targeted user, gaining code execution within Chrome's sandboxed renderer process. With the renderer compromised, the attacker then triggers the type confusion flaw in Chrome's Windows Accessibility component, causing the browser to mishandle object types across the sandbox boundary. …
Remediation Upgrade Google Chrome on all Windows endpoints to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch per the Chrome stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Windows devices running Chrome versions prior to 152.0.7977.65 using your endpoint management system or asset inventory. …
