CVE-2026-19140: Use after free in Google Chrome
Use after free in GPU in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.109 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 a use-after-free condition in the GPU process of Google Chrome versions before 151.0.7922.109. Exploitation requires prior compromise of the renderer process and could lead to sandbox escape, increasing the attacker's privileges beyond the renderer sandbox. The issue was publicly disclosed with a high severity rating, but no CVSS score or explicit remediation level is provided in the input data. The vendor advisory URL points to a Chrome stable channel update announcement, which likely contains patch information.
Potential Impact
If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to escape the Chrome sandbox, potentially leading to further system compromise. This elevates the risk from a renderer compromise to a more severe system-level impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed from the provided data. Users and administrators should consult the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_01193673229.html for official remediation guidance and apply updates promptly if a fix is available.
