Network-delivered via crafted page, but AC:H due to mandatory specific gesture sequence; UI spoofing yields only limited integrity and availability impact with no direct confidentiality breach.

Inappropriate implementation in PreviewTab in Google Chrome on Android 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: Low)
AnalysisAI
UI spoofing in Google Chrome for Android (prior to 150.0.7871.47) via the PreviewTab feature allows remote attackers to misrepresent interface elements through a crafted HTML page. Successful exploitation requires high attack complexity - specifically, the attacker must convince a victim to perform particular UI gestures - limiting this to targeted rather than opportunistic attacks. No active exploitation or public proof-of-concept has been identified; the Chromium security team rates this as Low severity, consistent with its constrained CVSS 4.2 score.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in Chrome's PreviewTab component on Android - a feature that renders a preview of a link's destination before the user fully navigates to it. CWE-451 (User Interface Misrepresentation of Critical Information) identifies the root cause as the component failing to adequately distinguish or validate the content it renders, allowing a specially crafted HTML page to manipulate the preview display in ways that misrepresent security-relevant information to the user. This class of flaw is particularly relevant in mobile contexts where reduced screen real estate and unfamiliar gesture-based interactions create higher user susceptibility to visual deception. The vulnerability is platform-scoped to Android; desktop and iOS Chrome are not referenced as affected. CPE and version scope are confirmed by EUVD as Chrome versions below 150.0.7871.47.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome on Android to version 150.0.7871.47 or later, as announced in the Chrome stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. Chrome on Android typically receives updates automatically through the Google Play Store; users and administrators managing Android fleets should verify that auto-update policies are active and confirm the installed version reflects 150.0.7871.47 or higher. As a compensating control prior to patching, users can be advised to avoid engaging in unexpected or unsolicited UI gesture sequences when browsing untrusted content in Chrome, though this provides limited enforcement value in unmanaged environments. No workarounds that eliminate the attack surface without patching have been identified from available data.
