DescriptionCVE.org

Inappropriate implementation in ANGLE in Google Chrome on Mac 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 on macOS prior to version 148.0.7778.216 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code within the renderer sandbox by enticing a victim to visit a crafted HTML page that triggers an inappropriate implementation flaw in the ANGLE graphics layer. The issue is rated High by Chromium and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 with user interaction required; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low at 0.04%.

Technical ContextAI

ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is the translation layer Chromium uses to convert OpenGL ES API calls into the platform's native graphics API - on macOS this maps to Metal (and historically OpenGL). Because ANGLE handles WebGL and accelerated canvas content from untrusted web pages, flaws in its implementation are directly reachable from JavaScript and have historically been a rich source of GPU-process compromises. The CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) classification combined with the description's note that code executes 'inside a sandbox' suggests the bug yields execution in the GPU/renderer process context rather than a full sandbox escape, though privilege handling within the GPU process is implicated. The CPE narrows the affected product to Google Chrome desktop on macOS.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 148.0.7778.216 for macOS - upgrade immediately via the Chrome Stable channel update referenced at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0877304591.html. In managed environments, push the update via MDM (Jamf, Intune, Kandji) and force-restart Chrome to apply, since Chrome only completes the update after a relaunch. If patching must be deferred, compensating controls include disabling hardware acceleration in chrome://settings (which reduces ANGLE attack surface at the cost of degraded rendering performance and broken WebGL content), enforcing the SitePerProcess policy and Strict Site Isolation (already default but worth verifying via chrome://policy), and using Chrome Enterprise policies to block untrusted sites or restrict WebGL on high-risk user populations. Track the upstream issue at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/513364480 for further detail once Google removes the view restriction.
