Integer overflow in Dawn in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 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 versions prior to 149.0.7827.53 is possible via an integer overflow in the Dawn WebGPU implementation, allowing a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox using a crafted HTML page. Google rates the Chromium severity as High and a vendor patch is available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
Dawn is Chromium's open-source, cross-platform implementation of the WebGPU standard, which exposes GPU functionality to web content and bridges JavaScript/WebGPU calls to native graphics APIs (Vulkan, Metal, D3D12). The flaw is classified as CWE-472 (External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter), but the description and 'Buffer Overflow' tag indicate the root cause is an integer overflow in Dawn's handling of attacker-controlled values, where arithmetic on size or index parameters wraps around and undermines downstream bounds assumptions. Because Dawn code runs in the more privileged GPU process that the renderer talks to via IPC, mishandled values from a compromised renderer can corrupt memory across the sandbox boundary and enable a sandbox escape from the otherwise-isolated renderer.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome to Stable channel version 149.0.7827.53 or later, which is the vendor-released patch identified in the Chrome Releases advisory (chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html); managed fleets should force-restart Chrome after auto-update to actually load the patched binaries since users frequently defer the restart. For Chromium-derivative browsers and Electron apps, apply the corresponding vendor update once published. As an interim compensating control for unpatched endpoints, disable WebGPU by setting the chrome://flags 'Unsafe WebGPU Support' flag to Disabled or pushing the 'WebGPUDeveloperFeaturesEnabled' / related enterprise policies off, which removes the Dawn attack surface at the cost of breaking WebGPU-dependent sites and applications; blocking untrusted browsing via network egress filtering or site isolation policies further limits exposure but does not eliminate the bug.
