Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Clipboard in Google Chrome on Android prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a local attacker to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome for Android (prior to 151.0.7922.72) allows a local attacker to read clipboard contents belonging to a different browsing origin by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page. The flaw arises from insufficient input validation in Chrome's Clipboard component on Android, classified under CWE-20. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been confirmed; EPSS of 0.13% at the 3rd percentile reflects a minimal real-world exploitation probability at this time.
Technical ContextAI
The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation) within Chrome's Clipboard API implementation on Android. Android's clipboard model differs from desktop operating systems - it permits inter-app clipboard access that, combined with inadequate origin validation in Chrome's Clipboard handler, creates a cross-origin data boundary violation. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome, and the description explicitly scopes the vulnerability to Android builds only, suggesting the flaw may be tied to Android-platform-specific clipboard APIs or Chrome's Android-specific rendering path. The vulnerability enables information disclosure across origins - for example, data copied from a sensitive site (banking, email) could be exfiltrated by a malicious page loaded in the same browser session.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome on Android to version 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Google Play Store or Chrome's built-in update mechanism; this is a vendor-released patch confirmed by the Chrome Releases blog at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. As a compensating control prior to patching, users should avoid copying sensitive data (credentials, tokens, personal information) to the clipboard while browsing untrusted or unknown websites on Android Chrome. Site-level clipboard permissions can be reviewed and restricted within Chrome's Android site settings (Settings > Site Settings > Clipboard), which limits clipboard API access for untrusted origins - note this may break legitimate clipboard functionality on some web applications. No significant functional side effects are expected from applying the patch.
