| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires two specific conditions to be met simultaneously: (1) the attacker must have already compromised the Chrome renderer process on the target Android device - this is a substantial prerequisite that implies a separate, prior renderer exploit in the attack chain; and (2) user interaction is required, specifically a user must load or remain on a crafted HTML page while the renderer is in the compromised state (CVSS UI:R). The vulnerability is limited to Google Chrome on Android and does not affect desktop Chrome builds based on available data. What limits exploitation: the renderer compromise prerequisite is a high bar; EPSS exploitation probability is 0.05%; no KEV listing confirms active exploitation; and the impact is confined to confidentiality (data leak), with no integrity or availability consequence. |
| Impact | The aggregate risk profile is moderate-to-low for most environments despite the CVSS 6.5 score. The most critical limiting factor is the requirement for prior renderer process compromise - a non-trivial precondition that implies this CVE functions as a second-stage exploit in a chain, not a standalone entry point. EPSS at 0.05% (16th percentile) aligns with this assessment, indicating very low observed or predicted exploitation in the wild. No KEV listing and no reported POC further support this. The CVSS vector presents a discrepancy worth noting: PR:N (no privileges required) conflicts with the description's explicit prerequisite of a compromised renderer, which would typically map to a higher privilege or complexity rating. This may reflect Chrome's convention of scoring the specific policy-bypass sub-vulnerability independently of its prerequisite chain. Confidentiality impact is High (C:H) with no integrity or availability impact, meaning the worst case is sensitive cross-origin data exposure, not code execution or service disruption. Organizations running Chrome on Android in high-sensitivity environments (enterprise MDM, banking apps) should treat this as elevated priority within a broader Chrome update cycle. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has separately exploited a Chrome renderer vulnerability to gain code execution within the renderer process then serves a crafted HTML page to the victim - requiring only that the user navigate to or remain on the attacker-controlled page. The crafted page triggers the WebAuthentication policy enforcement flaw, causing the compromised renderer to leak cross-origin data (such as authentication tokens or page content from a different origin) back to the attacker. No public POC exists at time of analysis; successful exploitation requires chaining this with a renderer exploit. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 05, 2026
Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome for Android prior to 149.0.7827.53 exposes sensitive information through insufficient policy enforcement in the WebAuthentication (WebAuthn) component. An attacker who has already achieved renderer process compromise can exploit this gap to extract cross-origin data by delivering a crafted HTML page to a victim, requiring user interaction. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS places exploitation probability at a low 0.05% (16th percentile), consistent with Google's own 'Low' severity classification for Chromium.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome on Android to version 149.0.7827.53 or later, the vendor-released patch documented at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. On Android, updates are delivered via the Google Play Store; enterprise environments using managed Chrome (via Google Admin or EMM) should push the update through their device management policy. Because exploitation requires prior renderer process compromise, reducing the renderer attack surface through Chrome's Site Isolation feature (enabled by default on modern Android Chrome builds) provides a meaningful compensating control - maintaining or enforcing Site Isolation limits the blast radius of any renderer compromise that might enable this secondary leak. There are no known workarounds that directly address the WebAuthentication policy gap without updating.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in the WebAuthentication (WebAuthn) subsystem of Google Chrome on Android, tracked under CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure). WebAuthn is a W3C standard for credential-based authentication using public-key cryptography; its implementation in Chrome enforces cross-origin isolation policies to prevent one origin from accessing another's authentication data. The flaw represents a failure in that enforcement boundary - specifically, a policy that should restrict cross-origin data access is not consistently applied when the renderer is in a compromised state. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring only a user visit to a crafted page, though the description introduces a significant unstated prerequisite: prior renderer process compromise, which implies a chained exploitation scenario rather than a standalone attack.
