Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to load a crafted HTML/WebGL page in an unpatched Chrome build (prior to 152.0.7977.65), so user interaction (UI:R) - navigating to or opening the malicious page - is the key prerequisite; there is no authentication requirement (PR:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals are partially divergent and should be weighed together rather than in isolation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts or compromises a web page containing crafted WebGL/graphics content that triggers the ANGLE type confusion, then lures a victim (phishing link, malvertising, or watering-hole) into loading it in a vulnerable Chrome build. When rendered, the corrupted memory operation is leveraged to execute attacker-controlled code, potentially escaping the renderer sandbox as described. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome to 152.0.7977.65 or later via the Chrome Releases stable-channel advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html), then fully restart the browser so the running process picks up the new binary - Chrome auto-updates but the fix is not active until relaunch. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, conduct inventory of all Chrome installations across organizational endpoints and identify deployment methods (managed or unmanaged systems). …
