Out of bounds memory access in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.216 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Google Chrome versions prior to 148.0.7778.216 stems from an out-of-bounds memory access in the ANGLE graphics translation layer that lets a remote attacker run arbitrary code inside the renderer sandbox via a crafted HTML page. Chromium rates the issue High severity and a vendor patch is available, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the EPSS score of 0.04% (12th percentile) indicates very low observed exploitation likelihood at this time.
Technical ContextAI
ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is Chrome's translation layer that maps WebGL and other OpenGL ES API calls to the host platform's native graphics APIs such as Direct3D, Metal, or Vulkan. CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read) in this context means the ANGLE component reads memory outside the bounds of an allocated buffer when processing attacker-controlled graphics commands originating from JavaScript/WebGL within a malicious HTML page, which Chromium classifies as enabling arbitrary code execution inside the renderer sandbox. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all Chrome builds prior to the fixed Stable channel release 148.0.7778.216.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 148.0.7778.216 - update to this Stable channel release or later, which Google distributes automatically via Chrome's built-in updater (verify by navigating to chrome://settings/help and restarting the browser to apply). Enterprises managing Chrome via Group Policy, Jamf, or Intune should accelerate the rollout of 148.0.7778.216 and confirm the update was applied across the fleet. If patching must be deferred, compensating controls include disabling hardware acceleration in chrome://settings (which reduces ANGLE's exposure to WebGL-triggered paths at the cost of slower rendering and degraded video performance) and restricting WebGL via enterprise policy 'WebGLEnabled=false' (which will break legitimate 3D and map-based web applications). Reference the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0877304591.html and Chromium issue https://issues.chromium.org/issues/499176133 for tracking.
