CVE-2026-7359: Use after free in Google Chrome
Use after free in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 147.0.7727.138 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 (CWE-416) in the ANGLE graphics engine within Google Chrome before version 147.0.7727.138. 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 is addressed in Chrome version 147.0.7727.138 and later.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker with control over the renderer process to escape the sandbox, potentially leading to higher privilege code execution on the host system. This elevates the risk from a renderer compromise to a full system compromise within the context of the browser environment.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should update Google Chrome to version 147.0.7727.138 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. The vendor advisory linked provides the official update information. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on applying the browser update. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the advisory excerpt, but the fixed version is identified, indicating an official fix is available.
