CVE-2026-102301: Out of bounds write in Google Chrome
Out of bounds write in GPU in Google Chrome prior to 154.0.8037.92 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves an out-of-bounds write in the GPU process of Google Chrome versions prior to 154.0.8037.92. An attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox environment, increasing the risk of system compromise. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.3, indicating high severity, with network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The issue was publicly disclosed and patched by Google in the stable channel update referenced in the vendor advisory.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote code execution outside the sandbox, which can lead to full system compromise. The attacker must first compromise the renderer process and then leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and bypass sandbox restrictions. The high CVSS score reflects the critical impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Google has released an official fix in Chrome version 154.0.8037.92. Users and administrators should update to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. No additional mitigation steps are indicated by the vendor advisory.
