Heap buffer overflow in Google Chrome ANGLE

IdentifiersCVE-2025-10502CWE-122· Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVE-2025-10502 is a high-severity heap-based buffer overflow in the ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine) component used by Google Chrome. The provided content states that the flaw affects Chrome versions prior to 140.0.7339.185 on Windows and Linux and prior to 140.0.7339.186 on macOS. ANGLE is part of Chrome’s graphics and WebGL rendering pipeline, translating graphics API calls across platforms. According to the supplied material, the vulnerability is caused by insufficient bounds checking when ANGLE processes crafted graphics data, which can result in out-of-bounds heap writes and heap corruption. The content further indicates that malicious graphics content delivered remotely, including crafted WebGL shaders or Canvas-related operations, may trigger the flaw.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can cause heap corruption in the browser process through out-of-bounds writes in heap memory. Based on the provided content, this may allow corruption of adjacent objects or heap metadata and could potentially be developed into arbitrary code execution in the context of the affected Chrome process. At minimum, the vulnerability presents a risk of browser compromise or process instability/crash from malicious remote content.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

The provided content does not describe a product-specific workaround for Chrome beyond applying the vendor update. For Prisma Browser, the advisory explicitly states that no workaround or mitigation is available and recommends upgrading as soon as possible. In practice, mitigation is therefore limited to prompt patching and reducing exposure to untrusted web content until updates are applied.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Update Google Chrome to a fixed version. Based on the provided content, the issue is patched in Chrome 140.0.7339.185/.186 for Windows and macOS and 140.0.7339.185 for Linux; the content specifically states affected versions are prior to 140.0.7339.185 on Windows and Linux and prior to 140.0.7339.186 on macOS. For downstream Chromium-based products mentioned in the content, Palo Alto Networks advises upgrading Prisma Browser to version 141.6.4.55 or later.
