Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-76046 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the ANGLE component of Google Chrome on Android platforms before version 151.0.7922.169. Exploitation requires that an attacker has already compromised the renderer process and can then execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a specially crafted HTML page. The vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.3, reflecting network attack vector, high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and requiring user interaction with high attack complexity.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote code execution outside the sandbox, potentially compromising the device's security by allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the renderer process. This can lead to full compromise of the affected Chrome browser instance on Android.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Google Chrome version 151.0.7922.169 and later. Users and administrators should update affected Chrome installations on Android to version 151.0.7922.169 or newer to remediate this vulnerability. No additional mitigations are specified.
