CVE-2026-10919
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedUse after free in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 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)
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceUse-after-free vulnerability in Chrome's ANGLE graphics library. A remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can exploit freed memory via a crafted HTML page to potentially escape Chrome's sandbox and execute code on the host system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Google Chrome is installedCheck for Chrome executable: On Windows, look in C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe. On macOS, check /Applications/Google Chrome.app. On Linux, check /opt/google/chrome/chrome or via package manager.Affected if Chrome is not installed on the system - this CVE only affects Google Chrome, not Chromium or other browsers
-
Retrieve installed Chrome version numberOpen Chrome, navigate to chrome://settings/help, or from command line run: chrome --version (Windows CMD), /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --version (macOS), google-chrome --version (Linux)Affected if Unable to determine version - cannot assess exposure
-
Compare installed version to affected rangeCompare the retrieved version number to the affected range: versions prior to 149.0.7827.53 are vulnerable. Chrome versions are formatted as four numbers (e.g., 149.0.7827.53) - check if the first number is less than 149, or if it equals 149 but subsequent numbers are lower than 7827.53Affected if Installed version is less than 149.0.7827.53 - the system is within the affected version range and could be exploited if an attacker has already compromised the renderer process
-
Verify ANGLE graphics layer is in useThis vulnerability is in the ANGLE graphics abstraction layer. ANGLE is typically enabled automatically for WebGL content. To check: navigate to chrome://gpu in Chrome and look for ' ANGLE ' in the Graphics Feature Status sectionAffected if ANGLE is listed as in use or enabled - the vulnerable component is active; however, since exploitation requires a compromised renderer process first, this check confirms the attack surface exists
If Google Chrome is installed and its version is below 149.0.7827.53 with ANGLE enabled, the environment falls within the affected range for this CVE.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped149.0.7827.53
Upgrade Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.53 or later. Organizations should ensure automated browser updates are enabled and push the patch to affected endpoints.
149.0.7827.53 or later
- Verify current Chrome version by navigating to chrome://settings/help or using the Chrome menu > Help > About Google Chrome
- Download the latest stable version of Google Chrome from the official website (google.com/chrome) or use the browser's built-in update mechanism
- Install the update and restart the browser to ensure the vulnerable version is no longer in use
- For enterprise environments, deploy version 149.0.7827.53 or later via your software distribution tools
