Inappropriate implementation in WebView 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: Low)
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Google Chrome's WebView component on Android prior to version 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker to elevate privileges by serving a crafted HTML page to a victim. The flaw requires user interaction (visiting or rendering the malicious page) and carries a CVSS 8.8 due to the high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact across the browser sandbox. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low at 0.04%, but Google has shipped a fix.
Technical ContextAI
WebView is the Android system component (built on Chromium) that lets native applications embed web content and is used by countless third-party Android apps in addition to Chrome itself. The root cause is classified as CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management), meaning the WebView implementation fails to correctly enforce the privilege boundary between web-origin content and the hosting application or browser process. Because WebView is shared across many Android apps via the Android System WebView package, a defect here has a broad blast radius beyond Chrome's own UI, affecting any app that renders untrusted web content through the platform WebView.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Google Chrome for Android 149.0.7827.53 or later - update via Google Play or the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. On Android, also ensure the Android System WebView package is updated through the Play Store so embedded WebViews in third-party apps inherit the fix; this is independent of updating the Chrome browser binary. If updates are temporarily blocked by MDM or device policy, restrict users from browsing untrusted sites in Chrome on Android and consider blocking known attacker-controlled domains at the network layer; note this only mitigates the browser path and not WebViews embedded in other installed apps, so it is partial coverage.
