CVE-2026-16413: Out of bounds write in Google Chrome
Out of bounds write in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.182 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves an out-of-bounds write in the ANGLE graphics abstraction layer within Google Chrome versions prior to 150.0.7871.182. Exploitation requires prior compromise of the renderer process and could enable an attacker to escape the browser's sandbox environment by delivering a specially crafted HTML page. The vulnerability is classified with high severity by Chromium security. The vendor has published an advisory linked to a stable channel update, indicating remediation is available in version 150.0.7871.182.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to escape the sandbox, potentially leading to greater control over the host system beyond the browser sandbox restrictions. This elevates the risk of further system compromise.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Google Chrome version 150.0.7871.182. Users and administrators should update to this version or later to remediate the vulnerability. Refer to the official Google Chrome stable channel update advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256605430.html for details.
