Kept PR:N/UI:R/S:C per Chrome sandbox-escape convention with AC:H for the hard-to-win UAF; total impact (C/I/A:H) reflects browser-process code execution, though a prior renderer compromise is realistically required.

DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in Skia in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.125 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 desktop and ChromeOS builds prior to 150.0.7871.125 stems from a use-after-free in the Skia graphics library, allowing a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the browser sandbox via a crafted HTML page. Google rates this High severity; SSVC technical impact is 'total' with a scope change (S:C), but exploitation is not observed (no public exploit identified at time of analysis) and EPSS is low at 0.24%. A vendor patch is available.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw lives in Skia, Chromium's open-source 2D graphics rendering engine used for drawing web content, canvas, and UI compositing. CWE-416 (Use After Free) means a memory object in Skia is freed but a dangling reference is later dereferenced, letting an attacker corrupt heap memory and hijack control flow. Because Skia runs in a privileged context relative to the renderer, corrupting it from an already-exploited renderer enables the scope change to the higher-privileged browser process. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome across all editions, with the parallel ChromeOS stable channel also patched.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 150.0.7871.125 - update Google Chrome to 150.0.7871.125 or later on all desktop platforms and apply the corresponding ChromeOS stable channel update, then fully restart the browser so the new binary loads. Chrome auto-updates for most users, but enterprises using managed or pinned versions should force the rollout and verify via chrome://settings/help. No standalone workaround exists for the Skia bug itself, but because exploitation requires first compromising the renderer, enabling and enforcing the site isolation and sandbox hardening that ship by default meaningfully raises the bar; avoid running Chrome with sandbox-disabling flags (e.g. --no-sandbox), which would remove the very boundary this bug targets. Refer to the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0353146366.html) for the authoritative fixed-version list.
