Uninitialized Use in WebGL in Google Chrome on Android prior to 148.0.7778.216 allowed a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Uninitialized memory exposure in the WebGL subsystem of Google Chrome on Android prior to 148.0.7778.216 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read potentially sensitive data from browser process memory. Exploitation requires the victim to visit a specially crafted HTML page, placing this in the drive-by/social-engineering threat category rather than fully automated attacks. No public exploit code identified at time of analysis, and EPSS of 0.03% (10th percentile) reflects minimal current exploitation pressure despite the High CVSS confidentiality impact.

Technical ContextAI

WebGL is the browser-native API for GPU-accelerated 2D/3D graphics, exposed via JavaScript and processed within the browser's renderer. CWE-457 (Use of Uninitialized Variable) describes a root cause where memory is allocated but not zeroed or otherwise initialized before being read; any residual data occupying that memory region - potentially including fragments of prior computations, credential material, or session state - becomes readable and can be surfaced to the attacker. On Android, Chrome's WebGL implementation contains a code path where a variable is consumed before initialization is guaranteed, enabling this information disclosure. Affected products per CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) are all Chrome versions on Android prior to 148.0.7778.216, as confirmed by the EUVD affected-version range and Google's stable channel advisory.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Chrome 148.0.7778.216 for Android. Users should update immediately via the Google Play Store; Chrome typically applies background updates automatically when connected to Wi-Fi, but manual update verification is recommended for high-risk environments. The patch release is documented at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0877304591.html. As a compensating control before patching, enterprise administrators can deploy Chrome browser policies to restrict navigation to untrusted or unknown origins, reducing exposure to attacker-controlled pages; this trades browsing flexibility for reduced attack surface. Disabling WebGL via enterprise policy (--disable-webgl flag or corresponding policy key) would eliminate the vulnerable code path but will break legitimate WebGL-dependent web applications, making it unsuitable for general-purpose deployments. There are no documented workarounds that preserve full WebGL functionality while mitigating the vulnerability.
