NVD · uneditedType Confusion in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker 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 · moderate confidenceType confusion vulnerability in ANGLE (a graphics library abstraction layer used by Chrome for WebGL) allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability exists prior to Chrome 149.0.7827.53 and can potentially enable sandbox escape, allowing the attacker to break out of Chrome's security sandbox and execute code on the underlying 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.
-
Locate Google Chrome installationCheck if Google Chrome is installed on the system by looking for Chrome in common installation paths (e.g., C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe on Windows or /Applications/Google Chrome.app on macOS) or by searching for 'chrome' in installed programs.Affected if Google Chrome is installed on the system
-
Determine installed Chrome versionOpen Google Chrome and navigate to chrome://version, or click Help > About Google Chrome. Record the version number displayed (e.g., 149.0.7827.53).Affected if The version displayed is less than 149.0.7827.53 (for example, 148.x.x.x or earlier)
-
Verify ANGLE graphics layer is in useIn Chrome, navigate to chrome://gpu and look for 'ANGLE' or 'WebGL' in the Graphics Feature Status section. ANGLE is typically enabled by default to support WebGL graphics.Affected if ANGLE or WebGL is listed as enabled (this confirms the vulnerable component is active)
-
Compare against affected version rangeTake the version number obtained in step 2 and compare it numerically to 149.0.7827.53. Any version starting with 148 or lower, or any version that does not start with 149.0.7827.53 or higher, is in the affected range.Affected if Installed version is 149.0.7827.53 or lower
If Google Chrome is installed and the version is below 149.0.7827.53, the system is affected by this vulnerability.
