CVE-2026-11087
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 · uneditedUninitialized Use in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to leak cross-origin data 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 confidenceUninitialized memory use in ANGLE (a graphics library for WebGL) in Google Chrome allowed a remote attacker who had already compromised the renderer process to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. This is an information disclosure vulnerability stemming from the use of uninitialized memory in the graphics rendering pipeline.

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.
-
Verify Google Chrome is installedOpen Chrome and navigate to chrome://version or run 'google-chrome --version' in terminalAffected if Chrome is not found on the system - no further action needed
-
Determine installed Chrome versionLocate the version number in chrome://version or from the command line output (e.g., 149.0.7827.53)Affected if Cannot determine version - manual inspection required
-
Compare version against affected rangeCheck if the installed version is less than 149.0.7827.53 (e.g., 148.x.x.x, 147.x.x.x, etc.)Affected if Installed version < 149.0.7827.53 indicates the vulnerable version is in use
-
Confirm ANGLE graphics library is in useThis is inherent to Chrome's graphics rendering - no separate check needed. ANGLE is used automatically when Chrome renders web contentAffected if Chrome is running and rendering graphics content - the vulnerable code path is active
User is affected if Google Chrome version is lower than 149.0.7827.53 and Chrome is being used to render web content, as the uninitialized memory flaw in ANGLE's graphics pipeline becomes exploitable after renderer compromise.
