Vulnerability Assessment
| Weakness |
CWE
ASVS 5.0
V15 - Secure Coding and Architecture Incomplete cleanup
|
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires the Autofill feature to have been used so that sensitive data is present to be incompletely cleared, and critically requires victim interaction (UI:R): the user must be socially engineered into opening an attacker-crafted HTML page in Chrome for iOS prior to version 155.0.8059.39. There is no authentication requirement (PR:N), but the mandatory user interaction and reliance on social engineering are the primary limiting factors - this cannot be triggered silently or without a user navigating to attacker-controlled content. Exploitation is confined to the affected iOS Chrome builds; updated versions are not affected. |
| Impact | The input CVSS of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) is assigned by Chromium's own rating and overstates impact for what the description calls an information-disclosure flaw: 'incomplete cleanup' (CWE-459) in Autofill that lets a remote attacker obtain sensitive information. The I:H and A:H settings in the supplied vector conflict with a pure disclosure outcome - integrity and availability impact are not supported by the description, so real severity is closer to a confidentiality-only issue (my independent vector below rates ~6.5). Exploitation is network-reachable and low-complexity but is NOT zero-click: UI:R plus the explicit 'leveraging social engineering' language means the victim must be lured into visiting a crafted HTML page, which meaningfully lowers practical risk. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided; at time of analysis there is no public exploit identified and no evidence of active exploitation, so this reads as a standard browser-patch-cycle item rather than an urgent in-the-wild threat. Priority is routine-to-moderate: patch via normal browser update cadence rather than emergency response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious web page and uses social engineering (phishing link, malicious ad, or lure) to convince a Chrome-on-iOS user to open it. Because Autofill does not fully clear previously populated data, the crafted page reads residual sensitive information (e.g., autofill field contents) left over from a prior context. No public exploit code was identified, and exploitation requires the victim to actively visit the attacker-controlled page. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026
Information disclosure in Google Chrome for iOS Autofill allows an attacker who lures a victim to a crafted HTML page to obtain sensitive form data that the browser failed to properly clear. Only Chrome for iOS builds prior to 155.0.8059.39 are affected; vulnerable instances require the Autofill feature to have been used so that sensitive data is actually present for the incomplete cleanup to expose. Exploitation requires no authentication (PR:N) but is gated by mandatory user interaction and social engineering (UI:R), meaning it cannot be triggered silently; no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) was identified at time of analysis. Note that the vendor-assigned CVSS of 8.8 overstates the impact relative to our independent assessment (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 6.5), which scores confidentiality impact only, with no integrity or availability effect.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Google Chrome for iOS to 155.0.8059.39 or later via the App Store - this is the only complete fix, as documented in the Chrome stable channel advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_086471744.html) and Chromium issue 553394296. Because exploitation depends on social engineering plus the presence of previously saved Autofill data, interim compensating controls on unpatched devices are: disable Autofill for saved addresses/payment methods and form-data suggestions in Chrome for iOS settings (trade-off: loss of form-filling convenience and users will likely re-enter data manually), and clear existing saved AutoFill entries so there is no sensitive state left for the incomplete-cleanup path to expose (trade-off: destroys stored convenience data and must be repeated if Autofill is re-enabled). Restricting browsing of untrusted links - for example, routing sensitive users through a managed browser with a hardened allowlist - reduces social-engineering exposure but is operationally heavy and no substitute for patching. No server-side or network mitigation applies, since the trigger is victim navigation within the browser; patching to 155.0.8059.39 remains the primary and preferred action.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is an incomplete cleanup issue (CWE-459) in Chrome for iOS's Autofill subsystem - the component responsible for storing, suggesting, and inserting saved form data such as addresses, contact details, and similar user-entered values. CWE-459 describes failure to fully remove temporary or sensitive resources during a cleanup path, so the underlying technology concern is lifecycle management of sensitive Autofill state rather than memory corruption or injection: data that should have been purged or isolated remains reachable in a context that a crafted HTML page can observe. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* combined with the EUVD affected range indicates the exposure is scoped to Chrome for iOS releases below 155.0.8059.39, and Chrome for iOS renders through WebKit/WKWebView while Autofill behavior is handled by Chrome's own UI layer, which is why the issue is Chrome-specific rather than a generic iOS Safari bug. Chromium's own security severity rating for this issue is High, and it was credited internally by the Chrome team (issue 553394296).

Incomplete cleanup in Autofill in Google Chrome on on iOS prior to 155.0.8059.39 allowed a remote attacker leveraging social engineering to obtain sensitive information via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)
Executive ViewAI
Google Chrome for iOS Autofill contains an information disclosure vulnerability that could expose sensitive form data to attackers who lure victims to crafted HTML pages. Affected versions are prior to 155.0.8059.39, and only devices where Autofill has been used are at risk; no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Vendor-released patch: 155.0.8059.39 addresses this issue, but unpatched devices in the organization remain susceptible to social engineering attacks that could lead to data breaches.
