Out of bounds write in WebGL in Google Chrome on Android prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome's WebGL implementation on Android (versions before 151.0.7922.72) lets a remote attacker corrupt memory via an out-of-bounds write triggered by a crafted HTML page, potentially breaking out of the renderer sandbox. Rated Chromium 'High' and CVSS 9.6 due to scope change and full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact, it requires the victim to visit a malicious page (UI:R). No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, EPSS is low (0.21%), and CISA SSVC records exploitation as 'none'.
Technical ContextAI
The flaw resides in WebGL, the browser API that exposes GPU-accelerated 3D graphics (based on OpenGL ES) to JavaScript running inside a web page. WebGL processes untrusted geometry, shader, and buffer data in the renderer process, making it a historically rich source of memory-safety bugs. The root cause is classified as CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write), meaning attacker-controlled input drives a write past the bounds of an allocated buffer - corrupting adjacent memory. Because a successful corruption here is described as enabling a sandbox escape, the defect undermines the renderer sandbox boundary that normally confines compromised web content. The affected component is Google Chrome (CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome), specifically the Android build prior to 151.0.7922.72.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome for Android to 151.0.7922.72 or later, as delivered through the Google Play Store stable channel per the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html). Ensure automatic app updates are enabled on managed Android devices so the fixed build rolls out without user action, and verify the running version via chrome://version. If immediate patching is not possible, the primary compensating control is to disable WebGL by navigating to chrome://flags and turning off WebGL/hardware acceleration, or blocking the attack surface via enterprise policy - the trade-off is that WebGL-dependent sites (maps, 3D viewers, some games and dashboards) will fail to render. Additionally, restrict browsing to trusted sites and use content filtering to reduce exposure to crafted pages until the update is applied.
