Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Chrome for iOS in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to bypass navigation restrictions via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Navigation restriction bypass in Google Chrome for iOS (prior to 150.0.7871.47) allows a remote attacker to subvert browser-enforced navigation controls by luring a user into performing specific UI gestures on a crafted HTML page. Classified as CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation), the flaw undermines integrity by permitting unauthorized navigation that the browser is intended to block. No public exploit code exists and EPSS sits at 0.22% (13th percentile), indicating low observed exploitation probability; the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides specifically in the Chrome for iOS code path - the Chromium-derived browser running on Apple's iOS platform. iOS imposes its own WebKit engine mandate for third-party browsers, but Chrome's higher-level navigation restriction logic (distinct from the rendering engine) is what fails here. The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): Chrome's iOS layer does not adequately validate or sanitize inputs that govern navigation decisions when triggered via UI-gesture events. Navigation restrictions in mobile browsers typically guard cross-origin navigation, address-bar spoofing prevention, and pop-under/tab-hijacking defenses. A crafted HTML page can manipulate gesture-driven navigation events to bypass these guards. Affected CPE is inferred from EUVD data as Google Chrome on iOS versions below 150.0.7871.47.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome on iOS to version 150.0.7871.47 or later via the Apple App Store; this is the vendor-confirmed fix per the Chrome Stable Channel advisory at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. Organizations managing iOS fleets via MDM (e.g., Jamf, Intune) should push this update and verify version compliance. As a compensating control prior to patching, organizations can restrict Chrome for iOS usage via MDM policy and enforce Apple Safari (which is not affected by this Chrome-specific flaw) as the default browser. Additionally, user awareness training to avoid interacting with unsolicited links or performing unexpected UI gestures on unfamiliar pages reduces the social-engineering prerequisite. No workaround eliminates the underlying flaw; patching is the only complete remediation.
