Use after free 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 (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) allows a remote attacker to break out of the renderer sandbox via a crafted HTML page, leveraging a use-after-free memory-corruption bug. Google rates the Chromium severity High and the CVSS is 9.6 due to the scope change from sandboxed renderer to host. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to load attacker-controlled web content in Chrome (CVSS UI:R - user interaction such as visiting a malicious page or rendering a malicious ad/iframe). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals are mixed but coherent. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a malicious web page containing crafted WebGL/graphics content and lures a victim to visit it (or delivers it via a malicious ad/iframe). Rendering the page triggers the use-after-free in ANGLE, corrupting memory to potentially escape the renderer sandbox and run code at higher privilege on the host. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or later on the Stable channel per the Chrome release advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html); most environments receive this via Chrome's automatic updater, so verify the update actually applied and relaunch the browser to complete it, since Chrome does not swap the running binary until restart. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
