Inappropriate implementation in Tint in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.216 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome versions prior to 148.0.7778.216 allows a remote attacker to break out of the renderer sandbox via a crafted HTML page that triggers an inappropriate implementation flaw in the Tint graphics component. The issue carries a CVSS 9.6 (scope-changed) rating reflecting cross-boundary impact, requires user interaction (visiting a malicious page), and is rated High severity by Chromium; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low at 0.03%.

Technical ContextAI

Tint is the WebGPU Shading Language (WGSL) compiler and intermediate representation used inside Chrome's GPU/graphics stack (part of Dawn, Chromium's WebGPU implementation). It parses and lowers shader code supplied by web content, then forwards GPU work to the platform driver. The CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management) classification combined with the CVSS scope-change (S:C) indicates that the inappropriate implementation in Tint allows code or operations originating in the lower-privileged renderer/GPU sandbox to influence resources or execution at a higher privilege boundary, enabling a sandbox escape. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* across all platforms shipping the vulnerable Chrome build.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 148.0.7778.216 - upgrade Stable channel desktop installs to this build or later via the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0877304591.html); confirm by visiting chrome://settings/help and forcing a relaunch so the patched renderer/GPU process is loaded. For managed fleets, push the update via Chrome Browser Cloud Management, Group Policy, or MDM and verify the rollout. As a temporary compensating control while patching, disable WebGPU by setting the chrome://flags/#enable-unsafe-webgpu flag to Disabled and/or applying the WebGPU enterprise policy - this removes the Tint attack surface but breaks WebGPU-dependent sites and apps. Users of Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Electron-based apps) should track vendor advisories and update once the Tint fix is merged downstream.
