| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to have local access to the Android device with at least low-privilege (standard user account) access, as confirmed by CVSS PR:L. The victim must actively open or interact with a malicious file that is processed by Chrome's WebView component (UI:R). The vulnerability is specific to Chrome on Android - not Chrome on desktop platforms. The attack vector is local (AV:L), ruling out remote unauthenticated exploitation entirely. Limiting factors include: physical or local logical access to the device is required; user interaction with the malicious file is mandatory; the impact is limited to a denial of service (crash) with no data exfiltration or code execution potential based on the C:N/I:N CVSS impact scores; and the attack scope is unchanged (S:U), meaning the overflow cannot pivot to affect other applications or the OS. |
| Impact | The overall real-world risk is low. CVSS 5.0 reflects a purely local attack vector (AV:L), requiring low privileges (PR:L) and user interaction (UI:R), with impact limited to availability (A:H) and no confidentiality or integrity impact. This is not a remotely exploitable vulnerability. EPSS of 0.01% at the 1st percentile independently corroborates negligible exploitation likelihood in the wild. The CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, and no public exploit code has been identified. Chromium's own security team rated this Low severity. The primary real-world impact would be application or tab crashes on affected Android devices, not persistent compromise. The only notable signal elevating concern is the A:H availability rating, but in the context of a browser WebView, this means a crash rather than a system-wide outage. The CWE mismatch (CWE-472 assigned vs. integer overflow described) introduces minor analytical uncertainty about the exact root cause class - verify against the Chromium issue tracker. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A local attacker with a standard user account on an Android device places or social-engineers the victim into opening a specially crafted file - such as a malformed HTML, image, or document - that is rendered through a Chrome WebView surface. When the victim opens the file, the integer overflow in WebView is triggered, causing Chrome or the embedding application to crash. No public proof-of-concept exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 05, 2026
Integer overflow in the WebView component of Google Chrome on Android (prior to 149.0.7827.53) allows a local, low-privileged attacker to crash the application via a crafted malicious file, resulting in a denial of service. The attack requires user interaction - the victim must open or process the malicious file through a WebView-rendered surface. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score of 0.01% (1st percentile) indicates extremely low real-world exploitation probability; the vendor has rated this Low severity.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome on Android to version 149.0.7827.53 or later, as confirmed by the vendor's stable channel update advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html. Users should update via the Google Play Store. Since the vulnerability requires local access and user interaction with a malicious file, organizations with managed Android fleets can reduce exposure in the interim by applying mobile device management (MDM) policies that restrict sideloading of untrusted files and limit the sources from which files can be opened in Chrome WebView. Disabling or restricting WebView usage in enterprise applications for untrusted content sources is a targeted compensating control, though this may break functionality in apps that depend on WebView for core features. Given the low severity and lack of known public exploitation, patching through normal update cycles is appropriate rather than emergency response.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WebView is an Android system component that embeds a Chromium-based browser engine inside native Android applications, allowing apps to render web content inline. The vulnerability is an integer overflow in this component, meaning an arithmetic operation produces a value exceeding the bounds of its integer type, leading to unexpected behavior - in this case, a crash causing denial of service. The assigned CWE is CWE-472 ('External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter'), which describes a mismatch from the stated 'integer overflow' root cause; CWE-190 ('Integer Overflow or Wraparound') would be the canonical classification for this type of flaw. This discrepancy between the natural language description and the CWE tag is a notable inconsistency that should be verified against Chromium bug tracker issue 502264647. Affected product is Google Chrome for Android, specifically all versions of the browser's WebView implementation prior to the 149.0.7827.53 stable channel release.
