Sandbox escape via undisclosed WebGL input validation
Published May 28, 2026 · Updated May 28, 2026
Improper input validation in WebGL in Google Chrome before 148.0.7778.216 allows remote attackers to escape its sandbox via crafted HTML. Google has not disclosed the specific WebGL code path or the validation operation that mishandles untrusted page input, and access to the issue remains restricted. Exploitation requires prior compromise of the renderer process and user interaction with crafted HTML, after which code can cross the browser sandbox boundary.
