Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to have local access to the target Android device (AV:L) - remote network exploitation is not possible with this vulnerability as described. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Real-world exploitation risk is substantially lower than the 6.1 CVSS Medium score alone might suggest. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with physical or local access to an Android device delivers a crafted HTML page to the victim - for example via a shared local file, a local network resource, or a social engineering link opened on the device. When the user opens the page in Chrome, the malicious HTML triggers the cryptographic flaw in the WebAppInstalls component. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome on Android to version 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Google Play Store; this is the vendor-confirmed patched release per the Chrome Stable Channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
