Inappropriate implementation in Dawn in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform out of bounds memory access via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds memory read in the Dawn WebGPU implementation of Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker to access memory outside intended bounds via a crafted HTML page. Exploitation requires the victim to visit an attacker-controlled page, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Google rates the Chromium-internal severity as Medium, while NVD assigns CVSS 8.8 reflecting the broad impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability if successfully triggered.
Technical ContextAI
Dawn is Chromium's open-source, cross-platform implementation of the WebGPU standard, providing a low-level GPU abstraction layer that translates WebGPU API calls into native graphics backends (Vulkan, Metal, D3D12). Because Dawn parses and processes attacker-influenced GPU command buffers and shader inputs originating from web content, bugs in its validation logic can yield memory-safety issues. The CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read) classification indicates that the implementation reads memory past the end (or before the start) of an intended buffer, which in a GPU/driver context can leak sensitive process memory or destabilize the renderer. The Buffer Overflow and Information Disclosure tags reinforce that the underlying defect involves boundary checks on Dawn-managed memory regions.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome 149.0.7827.53 or later on the Stable channel - update via Chrome's built-in updater or redeploy managed installs, then relaunch the browser to apply. Administrators of Chromium-derivative browsers and Electron apps should track their respective vendor advisories and rebuild against the patched Dawn version. As a compensating control until patches roll out, disable WebGPU by setting the chrome://flags/#enable-unsafe-webgpu flag to Disabled or via enterprise policy (the WebGPU feature can be turned off through the chrome://flags or via group policy by blocking chrome://gpu features), which removes the attack surface at the cost of breaking sites that rely on WebGPU rendering, ML inference, or accelerated graphics. Refer to the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html and Chromium issue tracker entry https://issues.chromium.org/issues/500162791 for additional detail.
