| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires two concrete prerequisites: (1) the attacker must have already compromised the Chrome renderer process through a separate vulnerability - this is an explicit prerequisite stated in the description, not an inferred condition; and (2) user interaction is required (UI:R per CVSS vector), meaning the target user must visit or interact with a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability is further scoped to the Android platform of Chrome only, and affects versions prior to 149.0.7827.53. Exploitation is therefore limited to devices running Android with an unpatched Chrome version, and requires chaining with a renderer compromise - a non-trivial barrier that significantly limits opportunistic exploitation. The CVSS PR:N designation conflicts with the renderer pre-compromise requirement described in the CVE; defenders should treat the effective privilege bar as higher than PR:N implies. |
| Impact | The CVSS 6.5 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) presents a notable inconsistency with the vulnerability description that must be flagged: PR:N indicates no prior privileges are required, yet the description explicitly states exploitation requires a pre-compromised renderer process - a significant prerequisite that substantially raises the effective attack complexity beyond what AC:L implies. This discrepancy means raw CVSS likely overstates standalone exploitability. EPSS at 0.02% (6th percentile) aligns with the constrained exploitation conditions; the vulnerability is not in CISA KEV, and no POC exists at time of analysis. The real-world risk is best understood as a privilege escalation or sandbox escape enabler within a multi-stage attack chain, not a direct initial access vector. The Chromium team's own severity rating of 'Low' is consistent with this assessment. Defenders should prioritize patching for users on Android Chrome given the integrity impact, but this is not an emergency response priority absent evidence of active chaining. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has separately exploited a renderer-level vulnerability in Chrome on Android - such as a memory corruption bug - gains code execution within the sandboxed renderer process. From this position, the attacker delivers a crafted HTML page that triggers the insufficient navigation policy enforcement to navigate to restricted URLs, internal pages, or cross-origin targets that the browser should block, enabling further exploitation or data access. No POC for this specific vulnerability has been publicly identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 05, 2026
Navigation policy bypass in Google Chrome on Android (prior to 149.0.7827.53) enables a remote attacker who has already achieved renderer process compromise to circumvent navigation restrictions through a specially crafted HTML page. The vulnerability carries a CVSS integrity impact of High (I:H) with no confidentiality or availability impact, indicating the primary risk is unauthorized navigation to restricted targets - a technique commonly used to chain into further exploitation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS of 0.02% (6th percentile) reflects negligible current exploitation probability; however, its value as a chaining primitive in multi-stage browser attacks warrants attention.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to update Google Chrome on Android to version 149.0.7827.53 or later. The patch is confirmed available per the vendor advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Android users should update via the Google Play Store or Chrome's built-in update mechanism. Because exploitation requires a pre-compromised renderer process, organizations may also reduce chaining risk by ensuring other Chrome vulnerabilities are patched concurrently and by enabling Chrome's Site Isolation feature on Android where supported, as this limits cross-site renderer access. Restricting access to sensitive internal navigation targets at the network or application layer can reduce the impact of a successful bypass. No workaround is available that eliminates the navigation policy enforcement gap itself without applying the patch.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in Chrome's Navigation component and is classified as CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation), specifically insufficient enforcement of navigation policies within the browser's security model on Android. Modern Chromium-based browsers use a multi-process architecture in which the renderer process is sandboxed and subject to strict navigation policies enforced by the browser process. When these policies are insufficiently validated, a compromised renderer can craft navigation requests that should be blocked - such as cross-origin navigations to restricted schemes or protected internal pages - but are instead permitted. This is platform-specific to Chrome on Android (versions prior to 149.0.7827.53), as confirmed by the ENISA EUVD entry EUVD-2026-34748 and the affected version range from EUVD data. The Chromium issue tracker reference (issues.chromium.org/issues/502173136) contains additional technical detail.
