CVE-2026-17772: Out of bounds read in Google Chrome
Out of bounds read in WebGL in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to perform an out of bounds memory read via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-17772 is an out of bounds read vulnerability in the WebGL implementation of Google Chrome versions before 151.0.7922.72. An attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious HTML page that triggers reading memory outside the intended bounds, potentially exposing sensitive information. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read). The Chromium project has assigned a medium severity level to this issue. There is no CVSS score or detailed exploit information available, and no known active exploitation has been reported.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to read memory beyond allocated bounds within the browser process. This may lead to information disclosure but does not indicate code execution or system compromise. The impact is limited to data exposure within the browser context.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Google Chrome version 151.0.7922.72 and later. Users and administrators should update to this version or a newer release to remediate the vulnerability. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on applying the browser update. Patch status is confirmed by the version boundary provided. No additional mitigation steps are specified.
