Network delivery via crafted HTML requires no privileges, but UI:R applies as user must load the page; navigation bypass yields I:H with no confidentiality or availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Chrome for iOS in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to bypass navigation restrictions via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Navigation restriction bypass in Google Chrome for iOS (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) enables unauthenticated remote attackers to circumvent browser navigation controls by inducing a user to load a crafted HTML page. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) confirms network-accessible, low-complexity exploitation with no privilege requirements but mandatory user interaction, yielding high integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability consequences. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS at 0.22% (13th percentile) indicates limited near-term exploitation likelihood despite the medium severity rating.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation) within Chrome's iOS-specific navigation processing code path. Unlike desktop Chrome or Chrome on Android, Chrome for iOS is constrained by Apple App Store policies to use WebKit as its underlying rendering engine, introducing a platform-specific code layer where input sanitization for navigation requests was found to be insufficient. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) covers the Chrome application broadly, but the vulnerability is explicitly scoped to the iOS variant per the CVE description. The flaw allows attacker-supplied HTML content to manipulate or bypass navigation restrictions - which could encompass same-origin navigation guards, URL scheme enforcement, or browser-internal navigation policy controls. The EUVD entry EUVD-2026-50763 confirms the affected version range as all Chrome for iOS releases prior to 151.0.7922.72.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Google Chrome on iOS to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which constitutes the vendor-released patch for this vulnerability per the stable channel advisory at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. iOS users should update through the Apple App Store. For enterprise environments unable to immediately deploy the patch, Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions can be used to restrict Chrome navigation to approved domain allowlists, though this introduces significant usability trade-offs and will not prevent exploitation via allowed domains hosting malicious content. Restricting user access to untrusted web content via web proxies or DNS filtering reduces exposure but does not constitute a complete mitigation. No workaround is confirmed as fully effective absent the patch.
