| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires several concurrent conditions: the victim must be using Google Chrome on Android (not desktop or iOS), the vulnerable page must be rendered inside a Chrome CustomTabs session (not a standard browser tab), the victim must actively navigate to or interact with the attacker-controlled HTML page (UI:R), and the attack complexity is rated High (AC:H), indicating additional preconditions such as race conditions, specific application state, or particular CustomTabs configuration may be necessary. The CVSS PR:N confirms no authentication to the attacker's infrastructure is required, but the attacker has no control over whether the victim's app uses CustomTabs. Exploitation is further limited to Android devices running affected Chrome versions below 149.0.7827.53. The practical attack surface is restricted to apps that use CustomTabs to render cross-origin content containing sensitive data worth stealing. |
| Impact | The overall risk is low and consistent across all available signals. CVSS 3.1 reflects Network attack vector (AV:N) but is heavily tempered by High Attack Complexity (AC:H) and required User Interaction (UI:R), meaning exploitation is not trivially automatable and requires the victim to navigate to a crafted page under specific conditions. The scope is Unchanged (S:U) and confidentiality impact is only Low (C:L), with no integrity or availability impact. EPSS at 0.03% (11th percentile) confirms that the security community does not currently anticipate widespread exploitation. There is no CISA KEV listing and no reported POC. Chromium's own internal severity rating of 'Low' aligns with NVD scoring. No conflicting signals were identified - all sources consistently characterize this as a low-priority, low-likelihood exploitation scenario. The primary real-world concern is targeted data exfiltration from Android apps that use CustomTabs to render sensitive cross-origin content. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page designed to exploit the CustomTabs policy enforcement gap and socially engineers an Android user into opening the link within an app that uses Chrome CustomTabs (such as a social media or email client). When the page loads, it leverages the cross-origin isolation failure to read or infer data from another origin accessible within the CustomTabs session, potentially exfiltrating authentication tokens, page content, or user-specific identifiers. No public exploit code has been identified, and the high attack complexity suggests precise timing or environmental conditions may be required to successfully trigger the leak. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 05, 2026
Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome's CustomTabs component on Android exposes sensitive information to remote attackers via a crafted HTML page. Affected versions are all Chrome for Android releases prior to 149.0.7827.53, where insufficient policy enforcement in the CustomTabs API fails to uphold cross-origin isolation guarantees. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV not listed); the EPSS score of 0.03% (11th percentile) and a CVSS score of 3.1 (Low) together indicate low real-world exploitation likelihood.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to update Google Chrome for Android to version 149.0.7827.53 or later, as confirmed by the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Android users should ensure automatic app updates are enabled via the Google Play Store. For organizations that deploy managed Chrome profiles on Android via Mobile Device Management (MDM), push the mandatory minimum version policy to enforce 149.0.7827.53 or above. No official workaround has been published for environments where the update cannot be immediately applied; as a compensating control, administrators could restrict the use of applications that invoke Chrome CustomTabs to render cross-origin or sensitive content until the update is deployed, though this may impact app functionality. No side effects of the patch have been noted by the vendor.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CustomTabs is a Chrome-for-Android API that allows host applications to embed a Chrome browser session within their own UI, sharing the Chrome process, cookies, and security state. The root cause is classified as CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure), meaning the Same-Origin Policy or an equivalent cross-origin data isolation mechanism is not correctly applied within the CustomTabs context. This can allow a page opened in CustomTabs to access or infer data belonging to a different origin - a boundary that must be enforced at the browser layer regardless of which host app invokes the tab. The affected CPE scope is Chrome on Android, confirmed by the EUVD entry (EUVD-2026-34708) which lists the affected range as Chrome versions below 149.0.7827.53.
