CVE-2026-10955
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 · uneditedType Confusion in ANGLE in Google Chrome on Windows prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform out of bounds memory access 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 confidenceThis is a type confusion vulnerability in the ANGLE graphics library used by Google Chrome on Windows. Type confusion occurs when the program uses an object of one type but treats it as a different type, leading to memory corruption. A remote attacker can exploit this by tricking a user into visiting a crafted HTML page, potentially enabling out-of-bounds memory access.

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 installed on WindowsOpen Chrome and navigate to chrome://settings/help, or check Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/ for the chrome.exe binaryAffected if Chrome is not installed or this is not a Windows system
-
Check installed Chrome version numberIn Chrome, go to chrome://settings/help to view the version, or right-click chrome.exe and select Properties > Details to see the File versionAffected if The displayed version is less than 149.0.7827.53
-
Verify ANGLE library is in useThe ANGLE library (libangle.dll or libGLESv2.dll) is loaded by default when Chrome uses WebGL graphics. This can be confirmed by inspecting Chrome's process modules while visiting a page with WebGL content.Affected if Chrome is actively using WebGL features (which loads the vulnerable ANGLE component)
A Windows user is affected if Google Chrome version is below 149.0.7827.53 and WebGL/ANGLE graphics rendering is enabled and in use.
