CVE-2026-11065
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: 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 confidenceA use-after-free vulnerability exists in the ANGLE graphics library layer in Google Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.53. An attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can exploit this memory corruption issue to potentially escape Chrome's sandbox isolation, gaining additional execution privileges. The vulnerability is triggered via a crafted HTML page.

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.
-
Check installed Chrome versionNavigate to chrome://version in the Chrome browser, or run 'google-chrome --version' from command line, or check via system software inventory toolsAffected if The displayed version is earlier than 149.0.7827.53 (e.g., 148.x.x.x or lower)
-
Confirm ANGLE library is in useThe ANGLE library is built into Chrome for WebGL graphics rendering. This is enabled by default - no user configuration required. No manual check needed for this component.Affected if Chrome is running with WebGL features enabled (default state) - the vulnerability applies to all such configurations on affected versions
-
Verify Chrome update statusCheck if Chrome is set to automatically update: go to chrome://settings/help and look for 'Update Google Chrome' button or version status. In enterprise environments, check software deployment inventory for Chrome versions.Affected if Chrome shows an available update, or the installed version in inventory matches the affected range
You are affected if your installed Google Chrome version is below 149.0.7827.53 and the browser is actively used (ANGLE/WebGL is enabled by default in Chrome).
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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
Update Google Chrome to version 149.0.7827.53 or later to patch the vulnerability. In enterprise environments, ensure automated browser update policies or centralized deployment of the patched version.
