# Chrome: uninitialized Skia memory lets a compromised renderer read outside sandbox

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-126844 (this .md is for agents)

Google Chrome's Skia graphics library reads an uninitialized resource, so a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can read memory outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. Chromium rates the security severity as High.

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

## How to check

- Open Chrome's About page (`chrome://version`) and compare the version against `157.0.8103.78`
- On managed fleets, check the installed Chrome version with your device management tool

## Fix

- Google Chrome: move to `157.0.8103.78` or later
