MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a victim running Google Chrome on Android at a version below 156.0.8078.47 to load a crafted HTML page that drives the vulnerable ANGLE graphics/translation layer (e.g., via WebGL/GPU rendering content). No authentication or special privileges are needed (PR:N), and it works against default Chrome configurations, but it is LIMITED by mandatory user interaction (UI:R) - the victim must navigate to or open the malicious page - and by the sandbox: successful exploitation yields code execution only within the renderer sandbox, so meaningful device-level impact requires chaining an additional sandbox-escape vulnerability. Chrome's automatic update mechanism also narrows the exposure window once the patched build propagates. |
| Impact | This is a credible high-priority browser vulnerability, though not an emergency at the time of analysis. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 8.8) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw requiring only that a victim load a crafted HTML page - a realistic condition for a web browser. No EPSS score was supplied, the CVE is NOT listed in CISA KEV, and no public exploit was referenced, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The scope is Unchanged (S:U) and the description explicitly limits the outcome to code execution 'inside the sandbox,' meaning this is a renderer-level memory-corruption bug (CWE-119, ANGLE graphics layer) that, by itself, does NOT constitute a full host compromise - it would typically need to be chained with a sandbox-escape bug to achieve device takeover. The C:H/I:H/A:H ratings reflect full compromise of the sandboxed renderer context, not the underlying OS. Net: real priority for patch management because Chrome is ubiquitous and the attack vector is trivial (visit a page), but the sandbox containment and absence of KEV/POC/EPSS signals argue against treating it as an imminent, in-the-wild threat. Note: EPSS data is missing entirely, so exploitation-probability cannot be quantified - rely on the Chrome auto-update cadence and vendor severity (High) instead. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts or compromises a web page containing specially crafted content that triggers the ANGLE memory-corruption bug when rendered by Chrome on Android. A victim is lured (phishing link, malvertising, or compromised site) into opening the page, and the memory corruption is leveraged to execute attacker-controlled code within the browser's sandboxed renderer process. No public exploit code was referenced, and exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R) to load the malicious page; full device compromise would additionally require a separate sandbox escape. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Remote code execution inside Chrome's renderer sandbox on Android is possible via memory corruption in ANGLE, the browser's graphics translation layer, when a victim running Google Chrome prior to 156.0.8078.47 loads a crafted HTML page. Exploitation requires user interaction, since the victim must navigate to or open the malicious page, and does not require authentication, but successful code execution stays within Chrome's renderer sandbox, so device-level compromise would require chaining a separate sandbox escape. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at the time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: 156.0.8078.47. Update Google Chrome on Android to version 156.0.8078.47 or later through Google Play or the enterprise MDM/EMM distribution channel, and verify the installed version in Chrome Settings > About Chrome; the vendor advisory is at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_02018666648.html. Chrome's automatic update mechanism narrows exposure once the patched build propagates, so prioritize devices with auto-update disabled or delayed. If immediate patching is not possible, disabling WebGL where policy allows (via chrome://flags or enterprise policy) may reduce exposure, but this breaks WebGL-based applications and games and is not a complete fix because ANGLE also processes other GPU-accelerated content. Restricting browsing to trusted sites and disabling JavaScript are more disruptive compensating controls that lower, but do not eliminate, the risk.

Technical ContextAI · show details
ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is Chromium's cross-platform graphics abstraction layer that translates OpenGL ES calls, including those generated by WebGL, to the native graphics API of the host platform; on Android this creates a large parser and renderer attack surface reachable from web content. The flaw is classified as CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer), meaning an out-of-bounds memory access in ANGLE can corrupt memory and potentially redirect execution. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H describes a network-reachable, low-complexity issue that requires a user to open a malicious page, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact scored against the browser process; however, the assessed impact is limited to the renderer sandbox, and escaping it would require a separate vulnerability.

Memory corruption in ANGLE in Google Chrome on on Android prior to 156.0.8078.47 allowed a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code inside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
Executive ViewAI
Google Chrome on Android prior to version 156.0.8078.47 is affected by a high-severity memory corruption flaw in the ANGLE graphics layer that can allow remote code execution within the browser's renderer sandbox when a user opens a crafted webpage. Exploitation requires user interaction, and no public exploit was identified at the time of analysis; successful code execution remains contained by the renderer sandbox unless chained with a separate sandbox escape. Leadership should care because unpatched mobile Chrome users could be targeted, and any follow-on exploit chain could lead to device compromise and data exposure across the mobile workforce.

How this decision was reached
The engine reads each signal below and applies a fixed list of rules from top to bottom. The first rule that matches sets the recommended action – like a statement, every line is shown.
What every action level means
SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
