DescriptionCVE.org

Inappropriate implementation in WebView in Google Chrome on Android prior to 149.0.7827.155 allowed a remote attacker to perform privilege escalation via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Privilege escalation in Google Chrome's WebView component on Android (versions prior to 149.0.7827.155) allows a remote attacker to break out of intended privilege boundaries when a victim opens a crafted HTML page. Rated High by Chromium with a CVSS of 8.8, the flaw yields high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact but requires user interaction. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and the low EPSS (0.27%) plus SSVC 'Exploitation: none' indicate it is not currently being exploited despite the severe technical impact.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability lives in Android WebView as embedded/used by Google Chrome. WebView is the Chromium-based engine Android apps and the browser use to render web content, and it enforces origin- and permission-based privilege boundaries between web content and the host. The root cause is classified as CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management): an 'inappropriate implementation' means the component grants or fails to constrain privileges correctly, letting untrusted web content operate with capabilities it should not have. The affected product per CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*, with the fix landing in Chrome 149.0.7827.155 on Android.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 149.0.7827.155 - update Google Chrome for Android to 149.0.7827.155 or later, which is the primary and sufficient fix. On most devices Chrome updates automatically via Google Play, so verify the installed version and force an update where auto-update is disabled or delayed. For managed Android fleets, push the updated Chrome/WebView package through MDM and confirm the WebView provider is current, since apps embedding WebView also depend on the updated component. Until updates are confirmed applied, reduce exposure by advising users to avoid untrusted links and restricting sideloaded browsing where feasible; there is no documented feature-level workaround, so patching is the effective control.
