The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Victim must be using Google Chrome on Android (not desktop). Attacker must successfully socially engineer the victim into visiting a crafted HTML page - passive drive-by exploitation without any user interaction is not possible given UI:R. Chrome Autofill must have data stored on the device for the exfiltration to yield meaningful sensitive information; a fresh Chrome install with no saved data limits impact. The attack is unauthenticated from the attacker's perspective (no credentials to the victim's device or browser required). Exploitation is limited to the Android platform only; Chrome desktop is not listed as affected.

Impact

The NVD-assigned CVSS 6.5 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) scores this as medium severity, but Google's own internal Chromium severity rating of 'Low' represents a meaningful downgrade signal. This discrepancy likely reflects that the actual data exposed may be limited in scope, or that the social engineering prerequisite substantially raises exploitation friction in practice. No EPSS score was provided, and the vulnerability does not appear in CISA KEV. No public exploit code has been identified. The SSVC technical impact is partial (confidentiality only, no integrity or availability effect), and the 'automatable' dimension is No given UI:R with social engineering required. Real-world priority is low-to-medium: Chrome on Android has enormous deployment scale, but exploitation requires per-victim social engineering, limiting mass exploitation potential. Defenders at organizations with high-value Autofill data (credentials, payment info) stored in Chrome on Android should prioritize the update.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker sends a phishing message to a victim directing them to a crafted web page hosted on an attacker-controlled server. When the victim opens the page in Chrome for Android, the HTML exploits the Autofill authorization flaw to read sensitive data stored in Chrome Autofill - such as saved usernames, email addresses, or other form data - and exfiltrates it to the attacker's server. No public proof-of-concept exploit has been identified, so the precise HTML/JavaScript technique required is not publicly known.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 02, 2026

Incorrect authorization in Chrome's Autofill component on Android (prior to 152.0.7977.75) exposes sensitive Autofill-stored data - potentially including saved credentials, addresses, or payment details - to a remote attacker who can socially engineer a victim into visiting a crafted HTML page. The flaw is platform-specific to Chrome on Android and requires active user interaction via social engineering, which limits real-world exploitation friction somewhat. Google has released a patch and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome for Android to version 152.0.7977.75 or later via the Google Play Store or Chrome's built-in update menu (Settings → About Chrome → Update). The patch is confirmed available per the Chrome stable channel advisory at chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/09/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. As a compensating control prior to patching, users can clear stored Autofill data (Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data → Autofill form data) to reduce the value of any data that could be extracted; note this degrades usability by removing saved form data. Disabling Autofill entirely (Settings → Autofill and passwords) is a more complete but more disruptive workaround. Enterprise administrators managing Android Chrome fleets via EMM/MDM should push the update immediately.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability resides in Chrome's Autofill subsystem on Android, classified as CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization). Rather than bypassing authentication, the flaw allows a specially crafted HTML page to exercise Autofill APIs or UI triggers that bypass the authorization checks governing which origins or contexts may read Autofill data. On Android, Chrome's Autofill integration interacts with the Android Autofill Framework, which may broaden the attack surface compared to desktop. The affected version range is all Chrome for Android releases prior to 152.0.7977.75, confirmed via EUVD CPE data. The Chromium issue tracker entry (498725213) is likely access-restricted, so the precise authorization boundary violated is not publicly disclosed.
