CVE-2026-11256: Out of bounds read in Google Chrome
CVE-2026-11256 is an integer overflow vulnerability in the GPU component of Google Chrome prior to version 149.0.7827.53. This flaw could allow a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to potentially escape the sandbox by using a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability is rated with a high severity score of 8.3 and involves an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125).
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves an integer overflow in the GPU processing of Google Chrome versions before 149.0.7827.53. An attacker with control over the renderer process could exploit this flaw to perform a sandbox escape, which could lead to elevated privileges or further system compromise. The issue is categorized under CWE-125 (out-of-bounds read). Although the CVSS score is high (8.3), the attack requires prior compromise of the renderer process and user interaction (UI:R). No known exploits in the wild have been reported. The vendor advisory link is provided but does not explicitly confirm patch availability or remediation status.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker who has compromised the renderer process to escape the sandbox, potentially leading to full system compromise or unauthorized access to system resources. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability (all rated high in CVSS). However, exploitation requires user interaction and prior renderer compromise.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is confirmed, users should exercise caution with untrusted content and ensure their Chrome installations are updated promptly once a patch is released.
