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 exploitation requires a pre-existing renderer compromise plus winning a UAF race; UI:R for visiting crafted content; S:C and C/I/A:H reflect full sandbox escape to a higher-privilege process.
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.

Use after free in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 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 ANGLE graphics layer (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) allows an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the sandbox via a crafted HTML page, exploiting a use-after-free (CWE-416) memory corruption. Google rated the underlying Chromium severity as Medium, and while the NVD CVSS is 9.6, exploitation is gated behind a pre-existing renderer compromise. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to have ALREADY compromised Chrome's renderer process (explicitly stated in the description) - this is a second-stage sandbox-escape primitive, not an initial-access vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals are notably in tension. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker first exploits a separate renderer vulnerability when the victim visits a malicious or compromised site, gaining code execution inside Chrome's sandboxed renderer. From that foothold, the attacker serves crafted HTML/WebGL content that drives ANGLE into the use-after-free condition, corrupting memory to escape the sandbox into the GPU/browser process. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Stable channel; on managed fleets, force the update and relaunch since Chrome only applies pending updates on restart, and confirm rollout through chrome://settings/help. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
