Type confusion 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

Type confusion in Chrome's ANGLE graphics abstraction layer (all versions prior to 152.0.7977.65) enables remote attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox by directing a user to a specially crafted HTML page. The CVSS 8.8 score reflects network-accessible delivery with no privilege requirements, full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, though user interaction is necessary. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Attacker crafts malicious HTML with weaponized graphics content
Delivery
Victim navigates to page via phishing or malvertising
Exploit
Chrome ANGLE layer receives crafted GPU object
Execution
Type confusion corrupts GPU process memory
Persist
Memory corruption leveraged to escape Chrome sandbox
Impact
Arbitrary code executes at host user privilege level

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Active user interaction is required: the victim must navigate to an attacker-controlled or attacker-influenced HTML page (UI:R per CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The official CVSS 8.8 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) captures network reachability and full CIA impact but appears inconsistent with the description: the S:U (scope unchanged) designation conflicts with 'code execution outside the sandbox,' which by CVSS 3.1 convention warrants S:C (Changed), elevating the theoretical score to approximately 9.6 Critical. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a malicious HTML page containing crafted WebGL or canvas-rendering content engineered to trigger the type confusion condition in Chrome's ANGLE layer. A victim on an unpatched Chrome version visits the page through a phishing email link or a malicious advertisement on a legitimate site, causing the GPU process to misinterpret a graphics object's memory type, corrupting memory state and potentially executing attacker-controlled code outside Chrome's sandbox at the privilege level of the logged-in user. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later immediately, as confirmed by the vendor stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, deploy Chrome 152.0.7977.65 or later across all endpoints through your browser update system and notify users of the mandatory security update. …
