DescriptionCVE.org

Uninitialized Use in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Uninitialized memory use in Chrome's ANGLE graphics layer (all versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) allows a remote attacker to read potentially sensitive data from the browser's process memory by delivering a crafted HTML page. The CVSS C:H rating reflects the theoretical confidentiality impact, but SSVC rates technical impact as only partial and exploitation as none, and EPSS sits at 0.31% (24th percentile), indicating low observed real-world exploitation probability. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Host crafted HTML/WebGL page
Delivery
Lure user to visit page (social engineering or redirect)
Exploit
Trigger uninitialized ANGLE memory read in renderer
Execution
Capture leaked process memory contents via script
Impact
Exfiltrate sensitive data to attacker-controlled server

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation unconditionally requires a user to actively navigate to or be redirected to a crafted HTML page - the CVSS UI:R metric confirms this user interaction is mandatory and non-bypassable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 3.1 scores this at 6.5 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N - network-reachable, low complexity, no privileges required, but user interaction mandatory. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a webpage containing crafted WebGL or GPU-accelerated rendering content designed to trigger specific uninitialized memory paths within Chrome's ANGLE graphics layer. When a targeted user visits the page using a vulnerable Chrome version, the browser processes the malicious graphics operations and exposes fragments of process memory - potentially including session tokens, cached credentials, or other in-memory data - accessible to attacker-controlled JavaScript. …
Remediation Upgrade Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later - this is the vendor-released patch as confirmed by the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
