DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in WebGL in Google Chrome on on Android prior to 153.0.8010.36 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Critical)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Google Chrome for Android prior to 153.0.8010.36 stems from a use-after-free in the WebGL implementation that a remote attacker can trigger with a crafted HTML page to execute arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox. Chromium rates this Critical and the CVSS is 9.6, reflecting a full renderer-to-sandbox-escape chain requiring only that a victim visit a malicious page. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a victim using Google Chrome on Android at a version below 153.0.8010.36 to visit or be redirected to an attacker-controlled HTML page (UI:R - the single limiting factor); no authentication or prior privileges are needed (PR:N), and it works against default configurations since WebGL is enabled by default. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H, 9.6) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack that only requires the user to open a page, with a scope change reflecting the sandbox escape - signals that align with Chromium's own 'Critical' severity, a stronger internal rating than several sibling Chrome CVEs where Chromium marked comparable bugs Medium. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 153.0.8010.36 or later; on Android this arrives through the Google Play Store update for Chrome, so ensure automatic Play Store updates are enabled and force-update managed fleets via MDM. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
