Inappropriate implementation in NFC in Google Chrome on Android prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker to perform privilege escalation via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Google Chrome on Android prior to 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker to escape the browser's normal privilege boundaries by enticing a victim to visit a crafted HTML page that abuses the NFC implementation. The flaw carries a CVSS 8.8 (high) rating with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, though Chromium itself classified its security severity as Medium. EPSS is very low (0.03%, 11th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in Chrome's Web NFC implementation on Android, which exposes near-field communication capabilities to web content through the navigator.nfc / NDEFReader APIs. Rooted in CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management), the issue stems from how Chrome assigns or validates privileges around NFC operations, allowing a web origin to obtain capabilities beyond what its sandboxed context should permit. Because Web NFC is an Android-specific surface in Chrome, the bug does not affect Chrome on desktop platforms; the affected build line is the Chrome for Android stable channel up to 149.0.7827.53.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Chrome for Android 149.0.7827.53 - upgrade all Android Chrome installations to this version or later via Google Play. Enterprise mobile fleets should verify rollout through MDM-managed app update policies and audit devices still pinned to older builds. As an interim compensating control until devices are updated, administrators can disable Web NFC by pushing the 'DefaultSensorsSetting' / site-level permissions policy via Chrome Enterprise on Android to block NFC API access, accepting the trade-off that legitimate NFC-using web apps will break; alternatively, end users can revoke NFC permissions for untrusted sites in chrome://settings. Reference the Chrome Releases advisory at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html and the EUVD entry at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-11108 for ongoing updates.
