Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the victim to be using Google Chrome on an Android device running a version prior to 152.0.7977.75 - the vulnerability is explicitly Android-specific and does not affect Chrome on desktop or iOS. The victim must navigate to an attacker-controlled page and the page must successfully invoke fullscreen mode, requiring at least passive user engagement (UI:R per CVSS). No authentication, server-side privilege, or non-default browser configuration is required of the attacker. The attack is not automatable per SSVC, meaning it cannot be reliably weaponized at scale without user interaction. The principal limiting factors are: Android-only scope, the requirement for user navigation to the malicious page, and the absence of any scope change (S:U) meaning the impact is confined to the victim's browser session.

Impact

The CVSS 5.4 (Medium) score is consistent with a bounded but real threat: the attack is network-reachable and requires no attacker privileges, but demands active user interaction and produces only partial technical impact. SSVC independently corroborates this assessment - exploitation is rated none, the attack is not automatable, and impact is partial - placing this below emergency patching thresholds for most organizations. The Availability:Low component in the submitted CVSS vector is unusual for a pure UI-misrepresentation flaw; it may reflect fullscreen mode disrupting legitimate browser navigation rather than a true service outage, and confidentiality impact is the dominant real-world concern. Even a mid-sized municipal IT team in sopot managing a fleet of Android corporate devices should treat this as a scheduled, non-emergency patch cycle item rather than an immediate incident response trigger, given the absence of KEV listing, no public exploit, and the requirement for user interaction. No EPSS score was provided in the input data; absence of that signal leaves exploitation probability unquantified beyond SSVC inference.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers a convincing lookalike domain and hosts a crafted HTML page that immediately invokes the Fullscreen API on load. When a victim on an Android device visits the link - delivered via SMS phishing, malicious advertisement, or QR code - Chrome enters fullscreen, suppressing the address bar, and the attacker's page renders a pixel-perfect replica of a banking or corporate SSO login form. The victim, unable to verify the true origin, submits credentials to the attacker. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the fullscreen spoofing technique is well-documented in browser security research.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 02, 2026

Address bar spoofing in Google Chrome on Android prior to version 152.0.7977.75 allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to deceive users about their true browsing origin by triggering fullscreen mode via a crafted HTML page. The flaw (CWE-451: UI Misrepresentation of Critical Information) causes the address bar to be suppressed or misrepresented during fullscreen transitions, creating a reliable phishing surface on Android devices. Google has released a fix in Chrome 152.0.7977.75; no public exploit code has been identified and CISA SSVC rates exploitation as none at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome on Android to version 152.0.7977.75 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch per the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/09/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html). End users should verify that automatic updates are enabled in the Google Play Store settings for Chrome. Enterprise Android MDM administrators should enforce a minimum Chrome version policy of 152.0.7977.75 and push the update via managed Play. If immediate update is not feasible, a compensating control is to set the enterprise browser policy FullscreenAllowed=false for managed Chrome on Android, which prevents web pages from entering fullscreen mode entirely; note this will break legitimate fullscreen functionality such as video players and web-based presentation tools. No other vendor-documented workaround is available.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Google Chrome's Fullscreen API allows web content to occupy the entire device screen, which on Android aggressively hides system chrome including the address bar. CWE-451 identifies the root cause class: the browser fails to accurately represent the current page origin when entering or sustaining fullscreen mode on Android. Unlike desktop Chrome, Android's fullscreen implementation suppresses system UI elements more completely, and the vulnerability lies in Chrome's logic for maintaining origin visibility during these transitions. The affected scope is Google Chrome on Android versions below 152.0.7977.75 (inferable CPE: cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:android:*:* version_end_excluding 152.0.7977.75); desktop Chrome variants are not implicated by the description or advisory. The Chromium issue tracker reference (issues.chromium.org/issues/517091927) confirms the defect is tracked internally.
