AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability arises from improper validation of an array index within the ANGLE graphics driver of Google Chrome. A crafted HTML page can cause Chrome to access memory outside the intended bounds, potentially allowing a remote attacker to run arbitrary code that bypasses the browser sandbox. The weakness is a classic array index validation flaw, listed as CWE-129, and could lead to full system compromise if exploited successfully.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome browsers prior to version 153.0.8010.36 are affected. All installations running these or earlier versions are vulnerable to attacks launched via malicious web content.

Risk and Exploitability

Chromium indicates a high severity level for this issue (CVSS score of 9.6). EPSS score indicates an exploitation probability of less than 1%, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, so the public exploitation probability remains uncertain. The likely attack vector is a remote attacker delivering a malicious HTML page that abuses ANGLE; no privileged local access or additional conditions are required once the page is rendered by the victim’s browser.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 153.0.8010.36 or later on all affected devices.
  • Configure browser settings or policies to restrict or sandbox execution of untrusted HTML content that may target ANGLE.
  • Monitor browser logs and web traffic for anomalies related to ANGLE operations or out‑of‑bounds access errors.
