Description

CVE-2026-17676 is a high severity vulnerability in Google Chrome on Android prior to version 151.0.7922.72. It involves an inappropriate implementation in the ANGLE component that could allow a remote attacker, who has already compromised the renderer process, to potentially escape the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. This vulnerability affects the security boundary of the browser's sandbox on Android devices.

Technical Analysis

This vulnerability arises from an inappropriate implementation in the ANGLE graphics abstraction layer within Google Chrome on Android versions before 151.0.7922.72. An attacker with control over the renderer process could exploit this flaw by delivering a crafted HTML page, potentially enabling sandbox escape. The sandbox escape could allow the attacker to execute code outside the restricted environment of the renderer, increasing the impact of a renderer compromise. The vulnerability is classified as high severity by Chromium security but lacks a CVSS score and explicit remediation level in the provided data.

Potential Impact

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of the sandbox environment on Android devices running affected Chrome versions. This could lead to execution of arbitrary code with higher privileges than normally allowed within the sandbox, increasing the potential damage from a renderer compromise. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Mitigation Recommendations

The vulnerability affects versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 on Android. Users and administrators should update Google Chrome on Android to version 151.0.7922.72 or later once available. The vendor advisory URL provided should be monitored for official patch and update information. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the input data; therefore, check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
