| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the target to be running Google Chrome on iOS at a version prior to 155.0.8059.39, and the attacker must be able to deliver or influence network traffic that reaches the browser's mobile input-validation path (such as an attacker-controlled server or a man-in-the-middle/on-path position). No authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N) are needed. The key LIMITING factor is high attack complexity (AC:H): success depends on specific memory state or timing/race conditions rather than a deterministic request, and impact is restricted to information disclosure (no code execution, no integrity or availability effect). Desktop and non-iOS Chrome builds are outside the stated scope. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but second-tier priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 5.9) describes a network-reachable, unauthenticated, no-interaction information-disclosure flaw, but tempers it with high attack complexity (AC:H) - meaning the attacker must win a race, rely on specific memory/traffic conditions, or meet non-trivial preconditions rather than firing a single reliable exploit. Impact is confidentiality-only (C:H, I:N, A:N): no code execution, no integrity or availability loss. No EPSS score was supplied, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified; it is NOT in CISA KEV and NO public PoC is referenced, so this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' Google rates the Chromium severity as Medium, which is consistent with the info-leak scope and AC:H. Note a data conflict worth verifying: the description scopes this to 'Google Chrome on iOS' (Mobile component), yet the supplied CPE is a generic 'cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*' with no platform constraint, and the reference URLs are Chrome *desktop* stable-channel posts - confirm the iOS-specific fixed build (155.0.8059.39) against Google's iOS release notes. Overall: patch in normal cycle; not an emergency given AC:H, Medium rating, confidentiality-only impact, and absence of exploitation signals. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker positioned to deliver or influence network traffic to a Chrome-for-iOS user (e.g. via a malicious or attacker-controlled server, or a man-in-the-middle position) sends crafted responses that the mobile input-validation logic mishandles, causing the browser to disclose sensitive in-memory or cross-context information back to the attacker. The high attack complexity (AC:H) means success depends on favorable timing or memory conditions rather than a deterministic single request, and no public exploit code is currently known. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026
Information disclosure in Google Chrome on iOS before version 155.0.8059.39 allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information by supplying crafted network traffic to the browser's mobile input-validation path. Exploitation requires no user interaction but is constrained by high attack complexity - success depends on specific memory or timing conditions rather than a deterministic request - and the impact is limited to confidentiality with no code execution, integrity, or availability effect. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no evidence of active exploitation. Google rates Chromium security severity Medium (CVSS 5.9), and a vendor patch is available.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Google Chrome on iOS to version 155.0.8059.39 or later through the App Store, which is the definitive fix per the Google Chrome stable channel advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_086471744.html); organizations managing iOS fleets should enforce this minimum version via MDM and verify compliance, since iOS users frequently defer or disable automatic app updates. Patch availability is confirmed at the vendor level, so this should be treated as a routine-but-real update rather than an emergency - there is no known public exploit and no KEV listing, and the high attack complexity and confidentiality-only impact keep it at second-tier priority. No vendor workaround is documented in the available data; if immediate upgrade is not feasible, reduce exposure by restricting Chrome-on-iOS use to trusted, non-hostile networks (corporate Wi-Fi/VPN with egress filtering) to shrink the attacker's ability to inject crafted traffic, at the cost of degraded mobility and more restricted user workflows, and consider temporarily disabling or blocking Chrome on iOS in favor of an alternate managed browser for users on untrusted networks. Note these are compensating controls only and do not address the underlying validation defect.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a CWE-20 improper input validation defect in the Mobile component of Google Chrome on iOS, tracked by Google in Chromium issue 517374100. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) combined with the description and EUVD record (EUVD-2026-93724) scopes the issue exclusively to the iOS build of Chrome prior to 155.0.8059.39; desktop and other non-iOS Chrome builds are outside the stated affected range. Because the weakness class is improper input validation on a network-facing parsing path, the root cause is insufficient validation or rejection of malformed input before the browser's mobile code processes it - but the assessed CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) characterizes the practical exploitation barrier as high, meaning a working attack depends on memory-state or timing/race conditions rather than a straightforward, repeatable payload. Note that this is independent of the Chromium desktop engine: the iOS variant is a distinct platform target, which is why Apple appears as an associated platform tag alongside Google.
