Severity by source
Sources disagree (Medium–Critical)AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
AC:H because a prior renderer compromise is a mandatory precondition; UI:R for page load; S:C and full C/I/A as a successful sandbox escape yields total host compromise.
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.

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Dawn in Google Chrome on Android 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: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome's Dawn (WebGPU) implementation on Android before 150.0.7871.47 lets an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out of the sandbox and reach the host via a crafted HTML page. Reported by Google's own Chrome security team and rated Medium by Chromium despite an NVD CVSS of 9.6, it currently has no public exploit identified at time of analysis and a low EPSS score (0.21%, 11th percentile). It is a second-stage bug that requires a prior renderer compromise, so it is dangerous as part of an exploit chain rather than as a standalone entry point.
Technical ContextAI
Dawn is Chromium's cross-platform implementation of the WebGPU standard, which exposes low-level GPU compute and rendering to web content and runs partly inside the sandboxed renderer/GPU process. The root cause is classified as CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): Dawn insufficiently validates untrusted input crossing the renderer-to-GPU/browser boundary, so data controlled by an already-compromised renderer can be interpreted unsafely by a more privileged process. Because WebGPU deliberately surfaces complex driver and GPU state to untrusted JavaScript, its IPC and command validation layers are a recurring sandbox-escape surface. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* scopes this to the Chrome application, and the CVE description narrows real-world exposure specifically to Chrome on Android prior to 150.0.7871.47.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome on Android to 150.0.7871.47 or later, which is the primary and recommended fix per the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html); on Android this arrives via Google Play, so ensure automatic app updates are enabled and verify the installed version. There is no supported per-feature toggle to disable Dawn/WebGPU on Android, so no clean standalone workaround exists; because exploitation requires a pre-existing renderer compromise, the most effective compensating control is to reduce the odds of that first-stage compromise - keep the whole browser current, avoid sideloaded or outdated Chrome builds, and in managed fleets use enterprise policy to enforce minimum browser versions. On desktop/managed deployments where WebGPU is not needed, disabling GPU/WebGPU features reduces attack surface at the cost of breaking WebGPU-dependent sites, but this option is limited on Android.
