Insufficient validation of untrusted input in GPU in Google Chrome on Windows 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: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page that exploits insufficient input validation in the GPU component. The CVSS 9.6 score reflects the scope change from renderer to host, but real-world exploitation requires chaining with a separate renderer compromise and user interaction. EPSS is low at 0.05% and no public exploit is identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in Chrome's GPU process, which handles graphics acceleration and inter-process communication with sandboxed renderer processes on Windows. The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation), where the GPU process fails to adequately validate messages or data structures coming from the lower-privilege renderer. Chrome's multi-process architecture relies on the GPU process as a higher-privilege broker, so flaws in its IPC validation can be abused as a sandbox-escape primitive. Affected scope is Chrome builds on Windows prior to 149.0.7827.53; other platforms are not enumerated in the available data.
RemediationAI
Update Chrome on Windows to the vendor-released patched version 149.0.7827.53 or later via the Stable channel update referenced at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html; most managed deployments will receive this automatically through Chrome's auto-update mechanism, which should be verified as enabled. For environments where update rollout is delayed, restart Chrome to force the pending update to apply, and audit Group Policy settings that may be suppressing updates. As a temporary compensating control, disabling GPU acceleration via chrome://settings or the --disable-gpu command-line flag reduces exposure to GPU-process bugs but will degrade rendering performance and break hardware-accelerated video; site isolation should be left enabled. Administrators of Chromium-derivative browsers should monitor their respective vendor advisories for downstream respins.
