Race condition in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution outside the browser sandbox is achievable in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.65 via a race condition in ANGLE, the graphics API translation layer. Exploitation requires a victim to visit a crafted HTML page (UI:R), and the high attack complexity (AC:H) reflects the timing-sensitive, probabilistic nature of race condition exploitation. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The victim must actively visit an attacker-controlled or compromised web page using Chrome prior to version 152.0.7977.65 - passive exploitation without navigation is not possible (UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U) encodes meaningful real-world constraints: high attack complexity due to race condition timing requirements substantially reduces reliable exploitation, and mandatory user interaction eliminates passive drive-by scenarios. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page incorporating WebGL or JavaScript content designed to trigger concurrent access to a shared ANGLE resource at precise timing intervals. When a victim navigates to the page in a vulnerable Chrome version, the race condition is triggered - potentially requiring multiple page interactions or controlled timing - until memory corruption yields a code execution primitive that breaks out of Chrome's sandbox. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later as documented in the Chrome Stable Channel advisory (http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
