Information leak in Passwords in Google Chrome on on iOS prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a local attacker to obtain sensitive information via a crafted file. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires local access to an iOS device running Google Chrome prior to version 152.0.7977.65, with the Chrome Passwords (built-in credential manager) feature in use. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) conflicts with the description's explicit 'local attacker' characterization - a local attack surface does not align with AV:N, and this discrepancy meaningfully affects the base score calculation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with local access to an iOS device - through device sharing, theft, or co-located malware with filesystem access - places a crafted file in a location accessible to the Chrome Passwords component. When the Passwords subsystem processes or interacts with this file, it leaks stored credential data that the attacker can then read. …
Remediation Update Google Chrome on iOS to version 152.0.7977.65 or later; this is the vendor-released patch confirmed by the Chrome Stable Channel Update advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0256176589.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
