DescriptionCVE.org

Integer overflow in WebGL in Google Chrome 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: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution outside the browser sandbox is potentially achievable in Google Chrome versions prior to 152.0.7977.65 through an integer overflow in the WebGL graphics subsystem triggered by visiting a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability affects all Chrome desktop platforms with a high-impact CVSS score of 8.8, though Chromium's internal severity rating of Medium and a low EPSS score of 0.25% (16th percentile) together suggest real-world exploitation remains uncommon at time of analysis. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Attacker crafts malicious HTML with WebGL payload
Delivery
User visits crafted page via phishing or redirect
Exploit
Chrome WebGL subsystem processes attacker-controlled numeric input
Execution
Integer overflow corrupts heap memory in renderer
Persist
Memory corruption primitive leveraged for code execution
Impact
Potential escape from Chrome renderer sandbox

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The user must actively visit an attacker-controlled or attacker-compromised webpage containing malicious WebGL content (UI:R per CVSS vector) - exploitation cannot occur without this interaction. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.8 base score reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring only user interaction (UI:R), with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact - a strong signal on paper. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malicious HTML page containing WebGL shader or buffer operations designed to trigger the integer overflow with a precisely controlled input size. When a targeted user is socially engineered or redirected to visit the page - via phishing email, malicious ad, or compromised website - Chrome's WebGL subsystem processes the crafted data, the integer wraps, and the resulting memory corruption provides a primitive that could be leveraged for arbitrary code execution within or potentially outside the renderer sandbox. …
Remediation Upgrade Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later, as documented in the stable channel release 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, verify Chrome auto-update status is enabled enterprise-wide or immediately deploy stable channel update 152.0.7977.65 to all affected systems; establish monitoring for deployment completion. …
