Heap corruption via ANGLE use-after-free
Published Jan 20, 2026 · Updated Jan 20, 2026
Use-after-free in ANGLE in Google Chrome before 144.0.7559.59 allows remote attackers to trigger heap corruption via crafted HTML. Google has not disclosed the affected ANGLE function, the freed object's lifetime error, or the subsequent stale-memory operation because the issue remains access-restricted. A target must load attacker-controlled HTML, and the published record bounds the demonstrated consequence to heap corruption without documenting code execution or a sandbox escape.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
