vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

Use after free in ANGLE 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: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.53 enables a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page targeting a use-after-free in the ANGLE graphics layer. The flaw requires user interaction (visiting a malicious page) and changes scope, yielding high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the host. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS probability is very low (0.03%, 11th percentile), but a vendor patch is available.
Technical ContextAI
ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is Chrome's translation layer that maps OpenGL ES API calls onto the platform-native graphics backend (Direct3D on Windows, Metal on macOS, Vulkan/OpenGL on Linux), and it runs with elevated privileges relative to the sandboxed renderer because it brokers GPU access. CWE-416 (Use After Free) means memory is referenced after it has been released, allowing an attacker who controls subsequent allocations to manipulate the freed object's contents and hijack control flow or corrupt state. Because ANGLE sits at the renderer/GPU boundary, a UAF here is a classic stepping stone from a compromised renderer to GPU-process or sandbox-escape primitives, which matches the CVSS Scope:Changed designation in the vector.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.53 on the desktop stable channel - update immediately via the built-in updater (chrome://settings/help) or by redeploying via managed-update channels, per the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Downstream Chromium-based browsers should be updated to whatever release incorporates the same ANGLE fix once their vendors publish it; in the interim, organizations can reduce exposure by enforcing Site Isolation (already default in Chrome) and blocking unknown sites via SafeSites/Enterprise policy, with the trade-off of administrative overhead and potential breakage of legitimate sites. As a more aggressive mitigation, disabling hardware-accelerated graphics via the --disable-gpu flag or chrome://flags would reduce the ANGLE attack surface but degrades rendering performance for video, WebGL, and Canvas-heavy applications and is generally not recommended over patching.
