CVE-2026-4464
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 · uneditedInteger overflow in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 146.0.7680.153 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption 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 confidenceInteger overflow in the ANGLE graphics translation layer in Google Chrome prior to version 146.0.7680.153 allows a remote attacker to trigger heap corruption via a specially crafted HTML page, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.

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 installedLocate the Chrome executable. On Windows: check C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe or C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe. On macOS: check /Applications/Google Chrome.app. On Linux: check common paths like /usr/bin/google-chrome or /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome.Affected if Google Chrome is not installed on the system
-
Retrieve the installed Chrome versionOpen Chrome, navigate to chrome://settings/help, or run 'google-chrome --version' from command line (Linux), or right-click the Chrome shortcut and select Properties > Details (Windows), or run 'defaults read /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/Info.plist CFBundleShortVersionString' (macOS).Affected if Unable to determine the installed version
-
Compare version against the affected rangeTake the installed version number (e.g., 146.0.7680.125) and compare it numerically to 146.0.7680.153. The vulnerability affects all versions prior to 146.0.7680.153.Affected if Installed version is less than 146.0.7680.153 (for example, 146.0.7680.125, 145.0.6101.90, or any earlier version)
-
Confirm the ANGLE graphics component is in useThis is typically enabled by default for WebGL support. To check in Chrome, navigate to chrome://components and look for ANGLE. If WebGL is functional in the browser, ANGLE is active.Affected if WebGL is functional and ANGLE component is present (the vulnerability requires ANGLE to be active to be exploitable)
You are affected if Google Chrome is installed with a version lower than 146.0.7680.153 and the ANGLE graphics layer is in use (which is the default for WebGL functionality).

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 · scoped146.0.7680.153
Update Google Chrome to version 146.0.7680.153 or later. Organizations should ensure automated patch management deploys browser updates promptly.
Chrome version 146.0.7680.153 or later
- 1. Open Google Chrome browser
- 2. Navigate to Chrome menu (three dots) > Help > About Google Chrome
- 3. The browser will check for updates and display the current version
- 4. If a version older than 146.0.7680.153 is detected, click 'Update Google Chrome'
- 5. Wait for the update to download and install
- 6. Restart the browser to apply the update
- 7. Verify the version is now 146.0.7680.153 or later by returning to About Google Chrome
