AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Requires a crafted page (UI:R) plus prior renderer compromise and winning the ANGLE bug (AC:H); sandbox escape crosses the trust boundary (S:C) with full GPU-process impact (C/I/A:H).

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Insufficient validation of untrusted input in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 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's ANGLE graphics component (versions prior to 150.0.7871.47) lets an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page, escalating from renderer-level code execution to the more privileged GPU/browser context. Google rates the Chromium severity as High and a vendor patch is available; there is no public exploit identified and it is not listed in CISA KEV, with EPSS exploitation probability low at 0.21%.
Technical ContextAI
ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is Chrome's translation layer that maps WebGL/OpenGL ES calls onto the host platform's native graphics APIs (Direct3D, Metal, Vulkan, desktop GL). It runs in the GPU process and consumes untrusted, renderer-supplied command streams, making it a recurring sandbox-escape surface. The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): ANGLE insufficiently validates untrusted input reaching it from a compromised renderer, so maliciously crafted graphics commands can drive memory corruption or unexpected state that crosses the renderer/GPU trust boundary. CPE data scopes this to cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome (all versions before the fix); the same code also ships in other Chromium-based browsers, which typically inherit the ANGLE fix downstream.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Chrome 150.0.7871.47 - update to this version or later on the Stable channel via the Chrome release announcement at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html, then relaunch the browser to apply the update. In managed fleets, push the update through enterprise policy and force a restart to close the window. If immediate patching is not possible, reduce the surface that feeds ANGLE by disabling hardware-accelerated graphics/WebGL (chrome://settings 'Use graphics acceleration when available' off, or the WebGL/3D-APIs enterprise policies), accepting the trade-off of degraded rendering performance and broken WebGL-dependent sites, and enforce strict Site Isolation to raise the cost of the prerequisite renderer compromise. Users of other Chromium-based browsers should apply their vendor's corresponding update once released.
