CVE-2026-11191
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 memory access in ANGLE in Google Chrome 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: 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 memory access vulnerability exists in ANGLE (a graphics library abstraction layer) in Google Chrome versions prior to 149.0.7827.53. A remote attacker can exploit this by tricking a user into visiting a crafted HTML page, potentially allowing reading or writing beyond allocated memory boundaries.

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.
-
Determine installed Chrome versionNavigate to chrome://version in the Chrome browser or run 'google-chrome --version' from command lineAffected if version number is lower than 149.0.7827.53
-
Verify Chrome is using ANGLE graphics backendNavigate to chrome://gpu and look for 'ANGLE' in the Graphics Feature Status section. This indicates the browser is using the affected ANGLE graphics libraryAffected if ANGLE is listed as active and version check in step 1 shows vulnerability
-
Check for renderer process crashesReview Chrome crash reports or logs for out-of-bounds memory access errors related to graphics rendering, particularly from the GPU processAffected if Crashes involve memory access violations in ANGLE-related components
User is affected if Google Chrome version is below 149.0.7827.53 and the browser is actively using the ANGLE graphics library (the default on many Windows configurations)

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. Organizations should deploy the update through their patch management systems and verify completion across affected endpoints.
Chrome 149.0.7827.53 or later
- Open Google Chrome browser
- Navigate to Settings > Help > About Google Chrome (or click the three-dot menu > Help > About Google Chrome)
- Chrome will automatically check for updates and download version 149.0.7827.53 or later
- Click 'Relaunch' or restart the browser to apply the update
- Verify the version by returning to About Google Chrome - it should show version 149.0.7827.53 or newer
