Technical summary
CVE-2026-9911 is an integer overflow vulnerability in ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine), the graphics translation layer used by Google Chrome. The flaw exists in Chrome versions prior to 148.0.7778.216. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user to visit a crafted HTML page, triggering an out-of-bounds memory read. The vulnerability is rated High severity by Chromium security standards. ANGLE translates OpenGL ES API calls to native graphics APIs (Direct3D, Metal, Vulkan), making this a graphics pipeline vulnerability that could potentially expose memory contents to attacker-controlled web content.
Defensive priority
high
Recommended defensive actions
- Update Google Chrome to version 148.0.7778.216 or later.
- Review and restrict execution of untrusted HTML content in browser environments.
- Monitor for unexpected browser crashes or memory-related anomalies that may indicate exploitation attempts.
- Apply principle of least privilege for browser processes where feasible.
