DescriptionCVE.org

Use after free in ANGLE in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker 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 on Windows (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) lets a remote attacker who lures a victim to a crafted HTML page trigger a use-after-free that can potentially break out of the renderer/GPU sandbox. Google rated the Chromium security severity Medium and has shipped a fix; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the EPSS score is low (0.17%, 7th percentile), indicating limited near-term exploitation likelihood despite the serious impact class.

Technical ContextAI

The flaw lives in ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine), Chrome's abstraction layer that translates WebGL/OpenGL ES calls from web content into native graphics APIs - on Windows this is primarily Direct3D. ANGLE executes in the sandboxed GPU process, a well-known chaining target because a memory bug there can weaken or bypass renderer isolation. The root cause is CWE-416 (Use After Free): an object is freed while a dangling reference remains reachable, and subsequent access to that freed memory can be manipulated to corrupt state and influence control flow, here in the context of a graphics operation driven by attacker-controlled HTML/WebGL content.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later on Windows via the Chrome stable channel (Settings > About Chrome triggers the update; relaunch to apply), per the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. In managed environments, push the updated build through enterprise patch management and force a browser relaunch since the fix only takes effect after restart. As an interim compensating control before patching, you can disable hardware-accelerated graphics (Settings > System > 'Use graphics acceleration when available', or the --disable-gpu flag / equivalent enterprise policy) to reduce ANGLE attack surface - trade-off: this degrades WebGL, video, and rendering performance and may break graphics-heavy web apps, so it is only a short-term stopgap until the update is deployed.
