CVE-2026-13859
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 · uneditedInappropriate implementation in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 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 · high confidenceAn inappropriate implementation flaw in ANGLE (a graphics rendering engine) in Google Chrome prior to version 150.0.7871.47 allows a remote attacker to execute specially crafted HTML page content that can potentially escape the browser's sandbox security boundary, leading to code execution outside the sandboxed 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.
-
Check installed Chrome versionNavigate to chrome://settings/help in Chrome, or run 'google-chrome --version' (Linux) or 'google-chrome -version' (Windows) from command lineAffected if Version is earlier than 150.0.7871.46
-
Verify Chrome is using ANGLE graphics layerNavigate to chrome://gpu in Chrome and look for 'ANGLE' or 'Graphics Backend' information in the GPU info sectionAffected if ANGLE is listed as the active graphics backend (this is the default setting in affected versions)
-
Confirm Chrome is not patchedIn Chrome, go to chrome://components and check if 'Angle' component shows a version below the patched build, or note that no update is available in chrome://settings/helpAffected if No update is available or ANGLE component version is not at the patched level for version 150.0.7871.47
User is affected if their installed Chrome version is less than 150.0.7871.46 and they are using the default ANGLE graphics layer.
