Google Chromium Out of Bounds Memory Access Vulnerability

Google · Chromium

CVSS 8.8 EPSS 55% no public exploit indexed Fix deadline passed 2 January 2026

What it is

Google Chromium contains an out of bounds memory access vulnerability in ANGLE that could allow a remote attacker to perform out of bounds memory access via a crafted HTML page. This vulnerability could affect multiple web browsers that utilize Chromium, including, but not limited to, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera.

Why we say that

  • EPSS puts exploitation in the next 30 days at 55%
  • CISA's federal remediation deadline (2026-01-02) has passed
  • Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue

Every line above comes from a named public source. Where the evidence is thin, we say so rather than inventing confidence — see methodology.

What to do

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
