Sandbox-external memory disclosure via uninitialized GPU resource
Published Aug 25, 2026 · Updated Aug 25, 2026
Uninitialized GPU resources in Google Chrome before 152.0.7977.65 allow remote attackers to read memory outside the sandbox. The GPU process exposes contents from a resource used before initialization; public materials do not identify the specific resource or code path. Exploitation requires a compromised renderer process and a crafted HTML page, and the reported consequence is limited to memory disclosure.

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.
