Type Confusion in Tint in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.46 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape via type confusion in Tint, the WGSL shader compiler within Chrome's Dawn/WebGPU stack, affects Google Chrome desktop versions prior to 150.0.7871.46. A remote attacker who lures a victim to a crafted HTML page can trigger the flaw (CWE-843) to potentially break out of the renderer/GPU sandbox and gain broader access on the host. Rated High by Chromium with a CVSS 9.6 (scope-changed), though there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and CISA SSVC currently records exploitation status as 'none'.
Technical ContextAI
Tint is Google's WGSL (WebGPU Shading Language) compiler, part of the Dawn WebGPU implementation shipped in Chrome. It parses and compiles shader programs supplied by web content into backend GPU code, typically running inside the GPU process. The root cause is CWE-843 (Type Confusion): the compiler interprets a piece of memory or an object as one type when it is actually another, allowing attacker-controlled shader input to violate type-safety assumptions and corrupt memory. Because WebGPU exposes this compilation path directly to untrusted JavaScript/HTML, a malicious page can feed crafted shader constructs to reach the confused code path. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:* confirms the Chrome application as the affected product, and the vendor-supplied tags (Memory Corruption, Information Disclosure) align with type confusion primitives that can yield read/write and control-flow corruption leading to sandbox escape.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.46 or later on the Stable channel; Chrome normally auto-updates, so verify the version under chrome://settings/help and relaunch to apply, and push the update through enterprise management (GPO/MDM) to guarantee coverage across the fleet, per the advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. Users of Chromium-based browsers should apply their vendor's update once it incorporates the fixed Chromium build. As a compensating control until patched, disable hardware-accelerated WebGPU to remove the vulnerable Tint compilation path - set the 'Unsafe WebGPU Support' / WebGPU flags to disabled via chrome://flags or enterprise policy, or disable GPU acceleration entirely (chrome://settings 'Use graphics acceleration when available'); the trade-off is degraded graphics/3D and WebGPU-dependent site functionality and potential performance loss. Additionally, avoiding untrusted sites and enforcing site isolation reduces exposure, since exploitation requires the victim to load attacker-controlled HTML.
