CVE-2026-13950
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 GPU in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory 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 confidenceThis is an uninitialized memory use vulnerability in the GPU component of Google Chrome. A remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can exploit this by tricking users into visiting a crafted HTML page, causing the GPU to read and expose uninitialized memory contents back to the attacker, potentially revealing sensitive process memory.

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 Chrome is installedCheck for Google Chrome installation - on Windows look in Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/, on macOS check /Applications/Google Chrome.app/, or on Linux check /opt/google/chrome/ or via package managerAffected if Google Chrome is installed on the system
-
Determine installed Chrome versionOpen Chrome, navigate to chrome://settings/help, or run 'google-chrome --version' on Linux, 'C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --version' on Windows, or 'Info.plist' inspection on macOSAffected if Version is displayed as less than 150.0.7871.47
-
Compare version to affected rangeCompare the installed version number to the affected range: any version before 150.0.7871.47 is vulnerableAffected if Installed version is less than 150.0.7871.47 (e.g., 150.0.7871.0, 149.x.x.x, 148.x.x.x, etc.)
-
Confirm GPU rendering is activeIn Chrome, go to chrome://settings/system and check if 'Use hardware acceleration when available' is enabled, or inspect running Chrome processes for GPU-related activityAffected if Hardware acceleration or GPU rendering is enabled and Chrome is actively used - this is the attack surface for the vulnerability
User is affected if Google Chrome is installed with a version number lower than 150.0.7871.47 and the GPU/hardware acceleration feature is enabled.

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 · scoped150.0.7871.47
Upgrade Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.47 or later to patch the uninitialized use vulnerability in the GPU component.
Chrome 150.0.7871.47 or later stable release
- Open Google Chrome
- Navigate to Chrome Menu > Help > About Google Chrome
- Verify the current version number
- If the version is lower than 150.0.7871.47, Chrome will automatically check for and install updates
- Wait for the update to complete and restart the browser when prompted
- After restart, verify the version is 150.0.7871.47 or higher via Help > About Google Chrome
