DescriptionCVE.org

Inappropriate implementation in iOS in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 148.0.7778.216 allowed a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 148.0.7778.216 exposes sensitive information from cross-origin resources to remote attackers via a crafted HTML page. The flaw is confined to Chrome's iOS-specific implementation (distinct from Chrome on Android, Windows, or macOS), meaning the affected population is limited to iOS users running unpatched Chrome builds. With a CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium), no CISA KEV listing, and an EPSS of 0.03% (11th percentile), no public exploit identified at time of analysis, this is a real but lower-priority disclosure issue - though the zero-privilege-required network vector merits timely patching.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) and exists within the iOS-specific code layer of Google Chrome. On iOS, Chrome is required by Apple's App Store policy to use the WebKit rendering engine rather than its native Blink/V8 stack, meaning Chrome on iOS has a distinct implementation path for web APIs and cross-origin enforcement. The 'inappropriate implementation' designation (the same classification Google uses for logic bugs in browser subsystems) suggests that Chrome's iOS wrapper incorrectly handles or bypasses Same-Origin Policy (SOP) enforcement in some specific scenario, allowing a page to read data from a cross-origin context it should not have access to. The affected CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome is broad, but description and EUVD affected-versions data narrow scope to Chrome on iOS versions prior to 148.0.7778.216.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Google Chrome on iOS to version 148.0.7778.216 or later - this is the vendor-released patch confirmed via the Chrome Releases blog (http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0877304591.html). Updates can be applied through the iOS App Store by navigating to the Updates tab and installing the latest Chrome release, or via Chrome's built-in update prompt. No documented workarounds specific to this vulnerability have been published. For organizations unable to immediately patch, a compensating control would be to enforce a Mobile Device Management (MDM) policy restricting Chrome on iOS to approved, known-safe origins, or to require users to use Safari (which uses WebKit natively without Chrome's iOS wrapper code) for sensitive browsing sessions - though this does not constitute a fix and should be treated as a temporary measure only.
