DescriptionCVE.org

Inappropriate implementation in Chrome for iOS in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to spoof the contents of the Omnibox (URL bar) via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

Omnibox (URL bar) spoofing in Google Chrome for iOS prior to 151.0.7922.72 enables a remote attacker to display misleading URL content to a victim by serving a crafted HTML page, undermining the browser's fundamental trust signal. The flaw is iOS-specific and classified by Google as low severity (Chromium severity: Low), with EPSS at 0.21% and SSVC exploitation status of none, indicating no public exploitation at time of analysis. No public exploit code exists; the primary risk is phishing and credential harvesting against users who rely on the Omnibox to authenticate site identity.

Technical ContextAI

CWE-451 (User Interface Misrepresentation of Critical Information) describes flaws where security-critical UI elements can be manipulated to mislead the user. The Omnibox is Chrome's unified address and search bar - the primary mechanism by which users verify site identity. An 'inappropriate implementation' in the iOS-specific rendering of this component allows crafted HTML to influence what URL or content is displayed, breaking the visual trust indicator. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) covers all Chrome builds, but the vulnerability is scoped to the iOS platform, where Chrome's rendering and UI management differ from desktop due to Apple's WebKit rendering requirements and iOS UIKit constraints. The EUVD confirms the affected range as all Chrome versions below 151.0.7922.72.

RemediationAI

The vendor-released patch is Chrome 151.0.7922.72 for iOS; users should update immediately via the Apple App Store. The release advisory is available at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Because this is a client-side browser flaw, there are no server-side mitigations available to site operators. As a compensating control where immediate update is not possible, users and organizations should exercise heightened scrutiny when authenticating to sensitive sites on iOS Chrome by independently verifying URLs through bookmarks or typed navigation rather than trusting displayed Omnibox content. Enterprise MDM solutions (e.g., via Google Chrome Enterprise or Apple DEP) can be used to enforce minimum browser version policies and push updates. No known workaround eliminates the spoofing surface without updating the browser.
