DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect security UI in File Input in Google Chrome on Mac prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to perform UI spoofing via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

UI spoofing via the File Input security indicator in Google Chrome on macOS allows a remote attacker to misrepresent security-critical interface elements when a user visits a crafted HTML page and performs specific UI gestures. Affected are all Chrome for Mac builds prior to 150.0.7871.47. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) the victim must be using Google Chrome on macOS specifically - the vulnerability does not affect Chrome on Windows, Linux, or mobile platforms; (2) the victim must visit an attacker-controlled or attacker-compromised HTML page; and (3) the victim must be induced to perform specific UI gesture sequences as part of a File Input interaction (AC:H reflects this requirement). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.2 (Medium) is consistent with the attack characteristics: AV:N places delivery over the network, but AC:H acknowledges that the attacker must orchestrate specific UI gesture sequences from the victim, which substantially reduces exploitability at scale. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page that manipulates the File Input element to render a misleading security UI on macOS Chrome. The victim is lured to the page - via phishing or a compromised ad - and guided through a sequence of UI interactions (e.g., clicks or drags that appear legitimate) that the attacker has scripted to trigger the spoofed state. …
Remediation Upgrade Google Chrome on macOS to version 150.0.7871.47 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch per the Chrome Stable Channel update advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
