Type Confusion in ANGLE in Google Chrome 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 ANGLE graphics layer prior to version 151.0.7922.72 lets a remote attacker who lures a victim to a crafted HTML page trigger a type confusion (CWE-843) and potentially break out of the renderer sandbox. Google rates the Chromium severity High, and the CVSS 9.6 reflects a scope-changing bug requiring only that the victim open a page. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is low at 0.31% (24th percentile), and CISA's SSVC marks exploitation as none.

Technical ContextAI

ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) is Chrome's translation layer that maps WebGL/OpenGL ES calls onto the host's native graphics API (Direct3D, Metal, Vulkan, or desktop GL). Because it processes attacker-influenced GPU/shader content and runs partly in the more-privileged GPU process, memory-safety bugs here are a classic sandbox-escape surface. The root cause is CWE-843 Type Confusion: code interprets a memory object as an incompatible type, allowing out-of-bounds or otherwise corrupted access that can be steered toward code execution. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the affected product as Google Chrome (all builds before the fixed release) across desktop platforms.

RemediationAI

Update Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later (Vendor-released patch: 151.0.7922.72); patch is available per the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Chrome normally auto-updates, so verify via chrome://settings/help and relaunch to apply, and push the update through enterprise management (e.g. Chrome Browser Cloud Management / group policy) to fleet endpoints. Until the update is deployed, reduce exposure to untrusted web content; as a targeted mitigation you can disable GPU/hardware acceleration (chrome://settings - 'Use graphics acceleration when available', or the --disable-gpu flag) to shrink the ANGLE attack surface, at the cost of degraded rendering/video performance and battery life. Users of other Chromium-based browsers should apply their vendor's equivalent update once released.
