Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to open an attacker-controlled HTML page in Google Chrome for Android older than 153.0.8010.36 (UI:R - user interaction to visit/render the page), after which no authentication is needed (PR:N, unauthenticated). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine priority rather than an inflated high-CVSS score: the CVSS 9.6 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) is corroborated by an independent Chromium 'Critical' severity rating, and the described impact - arbitrary code execution outside the sandbox - is the most severe outcome for a browser bug. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Update Google Chrome for Android to 153.0.8010.36 or later (Vendor-released patch: 153.0.8010.36), as announced in the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/09/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0808145027.html); Chrome normally auto-updates, so ensure devices are allowed to fetch the update and restart the browser to apply it, and in managed Android fleets push the update via MDM/Play Managed configuration and verify the effective version. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit current Chrome for Android version distribution across your organization and confirm update deployment mechanisms (MDM, auto-update, app store). …
