Key insight
The vulnerability enables sandbox escape, potentially granting attackers access to the underlying operating system rather than being confined to isolated browser processes.
Description
CVE-2026-87512 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the ANGLE component of Google Chrome on Windows systems prior to version 153.0.8010.36. It allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the Chrome sandbox via a crafted HTML page.
