Use after free in GPU in Google Chrome on Mac prior to 149.0.7827.115 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 on macOS (versions prior to 149.0.7827.115) allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page that triggers a use-after-free in the GPU component. This is a chain-stage bug rather than a standalone entry point - it presumes prior renderer compromise - and Google rates the Chromium severity as High. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS probability is low (0.07%, 21st percentile).

Technical ContextAI

The flaw is a CWE-416 use-after-free in Chrome's GPU process, which handles graphics acceleration, WebGL, canvas, and compositing work on behalf of untrusted web content. In Chrome's multi-process security model the renderer runs sandboxed and communicates with the more-privileged GPU process over Mojo IPC; a memory-lifetime bug (freed object still referenced) in the GPU-side handling of that IPC or of crafted rendering commands lets a compromised renderer corrupt GPU-process memory. Because the GPU process runs at higher privilege than the renderer sandbox, controlling it constitutes a sandbox escape. The affected component is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and is specific to the macOS build per the CVE description.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome on macOS to 149.0.7827.115 or later via the Chrome Stable channel; verify by restarting the browser and checking chrome://settings/help, and confirm the update in the advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_01962725236.html. In managed fleets, push the update through your MDM/Chrome Browser Cloud Management to ensure the auto-update completes. If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by disabling hardware-accelerated GPU rendering (chrome://settings 'Use graphics acceleration when available' off, or the HardwareAccelerationModeEnabled policy) to shrink the GPU-process attack surface - with the trade-off of degraded rendering/video performance and higher CPU use - and enforce Chrome's site isolation and strict site engagement to raise the bar on the prerequisite renderer compromise. These are compensating controls only; the reliable fix is the version upgrade.
