Buffer overflow in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution outside the browser sandbox affects Google Chrome desktop builds prior to 152.0.7977.65, stemming from a heap buffer overflow in the ANGLE graphics translation layer. A remote attacker who lures a victim into loading a crafted HTML page can execute arbitrary code that escapes the renderer sandbox (CVSS 9.6, scope-changed). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to load attacker-controlled HTML/graphics content in a vulnerable Google Chrome build (before 152.0.7977.65) - the CVSS vector's UI:R confirms required user interaction, so this is not zero-click or wormable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals partially conflict and must be weighed together. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a malicious web page (or injects malicious content into an ad or compromised site) containing crafted graphics/WebGL commands that trigger the ANGLE heap overflow. When a victim on a pre-152.0.7977.65 Chrome browser visits the page, the overflow corrupts heap memory and executes attacker code that escapes the renderer sandbox onto the host. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 152.0.7977.65 or later on all desktop platforms; this is the definitive fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
