| Exploitation Conditions | The victim must be using Google Chrome on Android running a version prior to 151.0.7922.72 - this flaw does not affect desktop Chrome or other mobile browsers. The attack requires the victim to actively navigate to an attacker-controlled URL (UI:R in CVSS), meaning at least one user click or navigation action is necessary; drive-by exploitation without user interaction is not possible. No authentication, special server-side configuration, or non-default browser settings are required on the attacker's side. Exploitation is platform-constrained to Android and is further limited by the non-automatable nature of the attack (SSVC: Automatable: no), ruling out mass-scale scripted targeting. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N scores 4.3 (Medium), reflecting that while the attack is network-reachable and requires no attacker privileges or special configuration, it mandates user interaction and delivers only a low integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability consequences. EPSS at 0.17% (7th percentile) signals very low real-world exploitation probability, corroborated by SSVC's 'exploitation: none' status and 'automatable: no' assessment. The absence of any public POC and non-inclusion in CISA KEV further reduce urgency. The practical risk is that users on unpatched Android Chrome could be deceived into trusting spoofed sites, but this requires social engineering to deliver the initial click. This is a real-but-low-priority issue - patch during normal update cycles rather than as an emergency response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page designed to trigger Chrome's incorrect security UI rendering on Android devices, then delivers a link via phishing SMS, email, or social media to induce the victim to navigate to it. Once the victim opens the page in an unpatched Android Chrome, the browser displays misleading domain or security indicator information, causing the victim to believe they are on a trusted site such as their bank or identity provider. No public exploit code is currently known for this vulnerability. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026
Domain spoofing in Google Chrome on Android (prior to 151.0.7922.72) enables remote unauthenticated attackers to present misleading security UI indicators to users via a crafted HTML page. The flaw stems from CWE-451 - user interface misrepresentation of critical information - where Chrome's Android UI fails to accurately convey the true origin or domain of the page being visited. No public exploit code exists, EPSS sits at 0.17% (7th percentile), and SSVC confirms exploitation status as none, collectively indicating low urgency despite the broad user base.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome on Android to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, as documented in the Chrome stable channel advisory at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Chrome on Android typically auto-updates via the Google Play Store, but administrators managing enterprise Android fleets should verify deployment via MDM policy. No formal workaround is documented by the vendor. While awaiting patch rollout, organizations may advise users to verify destination URLs through alternative means before entering credentials - for example, using bookmarks for sensitive sites rather than following links - though this is a behavioral control with no enforcement mechanism and should not substitute for patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-451 describes a class of vulnerabilities where security-critical UI elements - such as address bar domain display, lock icon rendering, or SSL indicator behavior - are rendered inaccurately, misleading the user about the true origin of content. On Android, Chrome's compact UI and limited screen real estate create additional surface for origin-confusion bugs compared to desktop variants. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) covers all Chrome versions on the Android platform prior to 151.0.7922.72. The Chromium project independently rated this Low severity, consistent with the integrity-only CVSS impact. The root cause is in Chrome's security UI rendering layer rather than in the network stack or content isolation mechanisms.
