Impact
The CVE describes an out‑of‑bounds memory access (CWE‑125, CWE‑787) in the ANGLE graphics layer of Google Chrome before version 148.0.7778.216. A maliciously crafted HTML page can trigger this flaw, allowing an attacker to execute code inside the browser sandbox. This provides a remote code execution vector for users who open the offending content.
Affected Systems
Any user of Google Chrome with a version earlier than 148.0.7778.216 who views a page containing the crafted content is affected. All builds of Chrome prior to the specified release are susceptible.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates high severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% shows a very low likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires the user to load a maliciously crafted HTML page; no local privilege escalation is needed beyond normal browsing.
