AI Analysis

Impact

A Chrome ANGLE graphics stack fails to properly validate untrusted input, allowing an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to craft a specially malformed HTML page that can escape Chrome’s sandbox and execute arbitrary code with system‑level privileges. This Input Validation Failure (CWE‑20) undermines the browser’s confinement guarantees.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome browsers on any operating system that use ANGLE for rendering are affected, including Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS; versions older than 150.0.7871.46 are vulnerable, so all builds prior to that release remain susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

Chromium rates the issue as High with a CVSS score of 8.3, while the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a very low but non‑zero likelihood of exploitation; the vulnerability requires that the attacker already control the renderer process, limiting the attack surface; it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, so no widespread confirmed exploitation has been reported, yet the potential for system‑wide compromise makes it a serious risk for exposed or remote systems.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.46 or later to address the ANGLE input validation defect.
  • Ensure Chrome’s sandboxing feature remains enabled and has not been disabled by policy or custom configuration.
  • Apply an enterprise or group policy to enforce immediate patch deployment on all managed devices.
  • As a temporary measure, limit exposure of the renderer process by disabling extensions or applying content restrictions until the patch is applied.
