AC:H reflects the mandatory renderer-process compromise prerequisite, which materially elevates attack complexity beyond the official AC:L rating.

vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Passwords in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to perform UI spoofing via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

UI spoofing in Google Chrome's Passwords component prior to version 151.0.7922.72 enables a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to manipulate the browser's password-related interface via a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation (CWE-20) in the Passwords subsystem, allowing integrity-impacting spoofing of security-sensitive UI elements such as password prompts or save/fill dialogs. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Victim visits attacker-controlled HTML page
Delivery
Separate renderer exploit compromises renderer process
Exploit
Malformed input sent to Passwords component via IPC
Execution
Insufficient validation accepts spoofed UI data
Persist
Password manager dialog rendered with attacker-controlled content
Impact
User deceived into credential disclosure

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two sequential conditions: first, the victim must visit a crafted HTML page (UI:R per CVSS) that triggers a renderer-process compromise via a separate, chained vulnerability - this renderer compromise is an explicit prerequisite stated in the CVE description. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The official CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) yields a 6.5 Medium, but this vector does not capture a critical prerequisite: the attacker must have already compromised the renderer process before this flaw is exploitable. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker serving a malicious web page first exploits a separate renderer-level vulnerability to gain code execution within Chrome's renderer process. Using that foothold, they send malformed, unsanitized input to the Passwords component, causing Chrome to render a spoofed password save or autofill prompt that mimics a legitimate browser security dialog. …
Remediation The primary fix is upgrading to Google Chrome 151.0.7922.72 or later, which is confirmed available via the vendor's stable channel update (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
