Type Confusion in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.53 stems from a type confusion bug in the ANGLE graphics translation layer that a remote attacker can trigger via a crafted HTML page. Despite a CVSS of 9.6 and a vendor-released patch, EPSS is only 0.03% and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though Chromium-rated Medium browser bugs are routinely targeted once details are public.
Technical ContextAI
ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is Chromium's WebGL/WebGPU translation library that converts OpenGL ES API calls into the platform's native graphics API (Direct3D on Windows, Metal on macOS, Vulkan/OpenGL on Linux), and it runs inside the GPU process which historically has weaker sandbox boundaries than the renderer. The CWE-125 (out-of-bounds read) classification combined with the description's 'type confusion' wording indicates the bug confuses one ANGLE object type for another, causing memory reads or interpretation against a structure of incompatible layout - a class commonly leveraged for sandbox escapes because GPU-process compromise crosses the renderer-to-GPU process boundary. The CVSS scope change (S:C) reflects exactly this cross-boundary impact: code that should be confined to the renderer can reach into GPU process privileges.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.53 - update via Chrome's built-in updater (Help > About Google Chrome) and restart the browser, then verify the version string post-update; enterprise fleets should push the update via Group Policy or MDM and force a restart since the fix is not active until the process restarts. Downstream Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, Electron-bundled apps) should be updated as soon as their respective vendors ship the corresponding ANGLE fix. As a temporary compensating control where patching is delayed, disabling hardware acceleration in chrome://settings reduces the ANGLE attack surface (side effect: degraded video/WebGL performance, higher CPU use), and site isolation plus strict allowlisting of browsable content reduces the chance a user lands on a crafted page; consult the Chrome Releases advisory linked above for full remediation guidance.
