CVE-2026-9927 is a high-severity use-after-free vulnerability in the ANGLE component of Google Chrome prior to version 148.0.7778.216. This flaw allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code within the browser's sandbox by tricking a user into visiting a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.8, indicating a significant risk of confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time. The vendor has published an advisory but has not explicitly stated the remediation status in the provided data.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a use-after-free condition in the ANGLE graphics abstraction layer of Google Chrome versions before 148.0.7778.216. Exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R) and can be triggered remotely via a maliciously crafted HTML page, leading to arbitrary code execution inside the sandbox. The CVSS vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, unchanged scope, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the sandboxed environment of the browser, potentially leading to full compromise of the affected Chrome process. This impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the user's browsing session and data accessible within that context.
Mitigation Recommendations
The vendor advisory linked should be consulted for the latest remediation guidance. Since the affected version is prior to 148.0.7778.216, updating to version 148.0.7778.216 or later is implied as the remediation step. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the provided data; therefore, users should verify the update status via the official Google Chrome release notes and apply the update promptly.
