Not sure if this is your exact problem but we use frappe docker and this did the trick for us:

Fixed execute permissions on Chromium binary:

chmod +x /workspace/development/frappe-bench/chromium/chrome-linux/headless_shell

Installed missing shared libraries for Chromium:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y libatk1.0-0 libatspi2.0-0 libxcomposite1 libxdamage1

Restarted the bench server to pick up the changes.
