Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to load an attacker-controlled or attacker-injected HTML page in Chrome for Android before version 152.0.7977.65 - user interaction (visiting/rendering the page) is mandatory per CVSS UI:R. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals here are mixed and worth weighing carefully. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts or injects a crafted HTML page containing malicious WebGL/graphics content and entices an Android user to open it via phishing link, malvertising, or a compromised site. Loading the page triggers the ANGLE use-after-free, corrupting memory to achieve code execution that escapes the browser sandbox. …
