Google Chrome: Type confusion in ANGLE allows sandbox escape
Summary
Type confusion in ANGLE, the graphics translation layer of Google Chrome before 155.0.8059.39 (CVE-2026-106293, CWE-843). An attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can potentially execute arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox by luring a user to a crafted HTML page. Chromium rates the bug High, and the CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.3.
Affected
- Google Chrome (desktop) prior to 155.0.8059.39
- Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Opera, etc.): Unknown.
Fixed in
- Google Chrome 155.0.8059.39 for Linux
- Google Chrome 155.0.8059.39/.40 for Windows and macOS (per secondary sources; verify against the Chrome advisory)
- Later stable builds 155.0.8059.79/.80 (Windows, macOS) and 155.0.8059.79 (Linux) were reported on October 13, 2026. Install the newest stable build.
Workaround
Unknown. No vendor workaround is known. Apply the update.
Exploitation
- Not known to be exploited in the wild. The CISA KEV catalog does not list it.
- No public proof of concept found.
- CISA SSVC assessment: Exploitation none, Automatable no, Technical Impact total.
Our recommendation
- Confirm that every Chrome installation runs the newest stable build and that auto-update is not disabled.
- Prioritise endpoints that are behind on updates.
- Check Chromium-based browsers and Linux packages separately.
- Inventory Chrome versions across all endpoints.
Public exploits
PoC-in-GitHub, Metasploit and Exploit-DB list nothing for this CVE.
