Use after free in ANGLE in Google Chrome 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's ANGLE graphics layer prior to version 148.0.7778.216 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page. The flaw is a use-after-free (CWE-416) rated High severity by Chromium with a CVSS score of 8.3, but EPSS exploitation probability is currently very low at 0.03% and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is Chrome's translation layer that converts OpenGL ES API calls into the native graphics API of the host platform (Direct3D on Windows, Metal on macOS, Vulkan/OpenGL on Linux). It runs partially inside the GPU process, which sits at a higher privilege tier than the sandboxed renderer process. The vulnerability is a CWE-416 use-after-free condition in ANGLE - memory is referenced after it has been freed, allowing an attacker who controls freed-object contents to corrupt program state. Because ANGLE bridges renderer and GPU processes, a UAF here is a classic vector for crossing the sandbox boundary. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering Chrome desktop builds prior to 148.0.7778.216.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 148.0.7778.216 - update via Chrome's built-in updater or redeploy the fixed MSI/PKG from enterprise channels, per the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0877304591.html. Restart the browser after update because Chrome only loads patched binaries on relaunch; enterprise admins should enforce a maximum relaunch interval via the RelaunchNotificationPeriod policy. For Chromium-based browsers, apply the corresponding vendor build once published. There is no practical configuration-only workaround for an ANGLE memory-corruption bug; partial compensating controls include disabling hardware acceleration via the HardwareAccelerationModeEnabled policy (which routes more rendering through software paths and may reduce ANGLE exposure but degrades performance and breaks WebGL/WebGPU workloads), or restricting WebGL access through site isolation and enterprise URL allowlisting, which limits which origins can reach the vulnerable code path at the cost of breaking legitimate 3D/graphics web apps.
