DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in GPU in Google Chrome on Android prior to 148.0.7778.216 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome on Android prior to 148.0.7778.216 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the sandbox via a crafted HTML page that triggers insufficient input validation in the GPU component. Chromium rates the severity High and CVSS scores it 8.3, but EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.05%, 15th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw resides in Chrome's GPU process on Android, which mediates hardware-accelerated rendering between the less-privileged renderer process and the underlying graphics stack. The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): the GPU process accepts data from the renderer without sufficient validation, allowing a compromised renderer to send crafted messages that escape the renderer sandbox into the more privileged GPU context. Affected product per CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* on the Android platform, consistent with Chromium's multi-process security model where renderer-to-GPU IPC is a known sandbox-escape surface.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome for Android 148.0.7778.216 or later - update Chrome on all Android devices via Google Play to this version or newer, as referenced in the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0877304591.html and tracked in https://issues.chromium.org/issues/496282591. Because exploitation requires the user to visit a crafted page and the renderer to be compromised first, interim compensating controls include keeping Chrome auto-updates enabled in Google Play, deploying an MDM policy to enforce a minimum Chrome version on managed Android fleet, and restricting untrusted browsing on high-value mobile devices; note that disabling hardware acceleration is not a documented mitigation for this issue and may degrade performance without reliably blocking the GPU-process path.
