Google Chrome: Memory corruption in ANGLE allows sandbox code execution
Summary
Google Chrome prior to 156.0.8078.47 contains a memory corruption flaw in ANGLE, Chrome's graphics abstraction layer. A remote attacker may potentially execute arbitrary code inside the browser sandbox by luring a user to a crafted HTML page. Exploitation requires the victim to open the page, and Chromium-based browsers may be affected as well.
Affected
- Google Chrome before 156.0.8078.47
- Chromium-based browsers and Linux chromium packages that include the affected ANGLE code (version details unknown)
Fixed in
- Google Chrome 156.0.8078.47 or later (Chrome 156 Stable release of 20 October 2026)
- Later Chrome 156 stable builds are available and should be preferred
- Debian chromium updates DSA 6577-1 and DLA 4853-1 (Linux distributions)
Workaround
No workaround known.
Exploitation
- No evidence of exploitation in the wild found at time of research
- Not listed in CISA KEV at time of research (verify live catalogue)
- No public proof of concept found
- EPSS score 0.00443
Our recommendation
- Update Google Chrome to the latest Chrome 156 stable build on all endpoints
- Check Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Chromium) and Linux chromium packages for the fixed version
- Confirm that the managed update policy is active on all endpoints
- Re-check CISA KEV and NVD in the coming days
Public exploits
PoC-in-GitHub, Metasploit and Exploit-DB list nothing for this CVE.
