Insufficient validation of untrusted input in TabSwitcher in Google Chrome on Android prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker to bypass navigation restrictions via malicious network traffic. (Chromium security severity: Low)
AnalysisAI
Navigation restriction bypass in Google Chrome for Android (prior to 150.0.7871.47) allows a remote attacker to circumvent browser navigation controls through crafted malicious network traffic targeting the TabSwitcher component. The flaw stems from insufficient input validation (CWE-20) in the tab management UI and requires user interaction to trigger, limiting its practical reach. With an EPSS score of 0.17% (7th percentile), no public exploit code, no CISA KEV listing, and Chromium's own internal severity rating of Low, real-world exploitation risk is minimal despite network reachability.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerable component is TabSwitcher, the Android-specific tab management UI layer in Google Chrome, which handles switching between open browser tabs. CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation) indicates that the component fails to adequately sanitize or validate externally controlled input - in this case, data arriving over the network - before using it in navigation logic. This allows attacker-controlled network traffic to influence tab navigation behavior in ways that circumvent intended restrictions, such as same-origin or navigation guard policies. The flaw is specific to Chrome on Android (not desktop Chrome) as reflected by the platform-scoped description. Affected versions are all Chrome for Android releases prior to 150.0.7871.47, per the EUVD entry ('Chrome 150.0.7871.47 <150.0.7871.47').
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome on Android to version 150.0.7871.47 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch. Chrome for Android typically updates automatically through the Google Play Store; users and administrators should verify that automatic updates are enabled and confirm the installed version is at or above 150.0.7871.47. The release advisory is available at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. If immediate upgrade is not possible, reducing exposure by avoiding untrusted or attacker-controlled networks (e.g., public Wi-Fi) limits the delivery vector for malicious network traffic, though this is not a substitute for patching. No additional workarounds were identified in the available data.
