DescriptionCVE.org

Out of bounds write in GPU 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 before 148.0.7778.216 enables a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of Chrome's sandbox through an out-of-bounds write in the GPU process triggered by a crafted HTML page. Google rates the Chromium security severity as High and a vendor patch is available, but no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is low at 0.03% (11th percentile).

Technical ContextAI

The flaw lives in Chrome's GPU process, the privileged broker that handles graphics commands relayed from sandboxed renderers via Chrome's IPC/Mojo channels. CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write) indicates memory corruption where attacker-controlled data is written past the bounds of an allocated buffer inside the GPU process, corrupting adjacent memory and enabling control-flow hijack or data corruption that breaks the renderer-to-GPU trust boundary. Per the CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome) all Chrome desktop builds prior to 148.0.7778.216 are in scope, and exploitation requires the attacker to have first achieved code execution inside the lower-privileged renderer - making this a classic second-stage primitive in a Chrome exploit chain rather than a standalone RCE.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Chrome Stable 148.0.7778.216 - upgrade Chrome on Windows, macOS, and Linux to 148.0.7778.216 or later via the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0877304591.html and verify deployment through Chrome's About page or enterprise update management. Confirm Chromium-derived browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi) and embedded Chromium runtimes (Electron, CEF) have absorbed the upstream fix before considering them remediated. As compensating controls until patching completes, enable Chrome's Site Isolation (default) and Strict Site Isolation enterprise policy to keep cross-site renderers separated, deploy the Enhanced Safe Browsing policy to harden against drive-by HTML lures, and for high-risk users consider the chrome://flags 'GPU sandbox' hardening or temporarily disabling hardware acceleration (with the side effect of degraded rendering/video performance) to reduce exposure of the vulnerable GPU process path; restrict execution to managed-extension allowlists to lower the odds of a renderer-stage compromise that this bug would chain from.
