Arbitrary code execution via ANGLE use-after-free
Published Sep 9, 2026 · Updated Sep 10, 2026
Use-after-free in ANGLE in Google Chrome before 153.0.8010.36 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute code via crafted HTML. ANGLE accesses an object after its backing memory has been released while processing attacker-controlled page content, enabling memory corruption outside the browser sandbox. A Windows user must open the crafted page, after which successful exploitation runs attacker-controlled code outside the sandbox in the user's security context.
