# Chrome: use-after-free in ANGLE lets a web page run code

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-126842 (this .md is for agents)

A memory-handling bug in ANGLE, Chrome's graphics translation layer, lets a crafted HTML page trigger a use-after-free. A remote attacker could potentially run arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the Chrome version in the browser's About page or with `google-chrome --version` on Linux.
- Confirm whether the installed version is below `157.0.8103.78`.

## Fix

- Google Chrome: move to `157.0.8103.78` or later.

## Timeline

- 2026-11-11T23:29:35+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-126842

## From the sources

Use after free in ANGLE in Google Chrome prior to 157.0.8103.78 allowed a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
