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 · uneditedOut of bounds write in ANGLE in Google Chrome on Mac 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: Medium)
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 confidenceAn out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) in Google Chrome on Mac versions prior to 149.0.7827.53. A remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can exploit this via a crafted HTML page to potentially escape the sandbox and execute code outside the restricted environment.

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 installedOpen Terminal and run: ls /Applications/ | grep -i chromeAffected if Google Chrome is not present in /Applications/ - the system is not affected because Chrome is not installed
-
Determine the installed Chrome versionOpen Terminal and run: /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --versionAffected if Unable to retrieve version information - Chrome may not be properly installed
-
Verify the operating system is macOSRun: uname -s in TerminalAffected if The system is not running macOS - this vulnerability only affects Chrome on Mac systems
-
Compare version to affected rangeCompare the installed version number to 149.0.7827.53. Any version lower than 149.0.7827.53 is in the affected rangeAffected if The installed version is less than 149.0.7827.53 - the system is affected by this vulnerability
The system is affected only if Google Chrome is installed on macOS with a version lower than 149.0.7827.53.
