Sandbox escape via GPU use-after-free
Published Jul 21, 2026 · Updated Jul 21, 2026
Use-after-free in Google Chrome for Android before 150.0.7871.182 allows remote attackers to escape the sandbox through crafted HTML. The GPU process accesses an object after its lifetime has ended, but Google has not published the affected object, function, or ownership error. Exploitation requires user interaction with the page and prior compromise of the renderer process; the resulting boundary crossing exposes browser or device resources outside the renderer sandbox.
