Insufficient validation of untrusted input in CustomTabs in Google Chrome on Android prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a local attacker to perform UI spoofing via a malicious file. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
UI spoofing in Google Chrome's CustomTabs component on Android enables a local attacker to manipulate what a victim sees within an in-app browser session by supplying a malicious file, affecting all Chrome for Android versions prior to 150.0.7871.47. The CVSS score of 3.3 (Low) and EPSS of 0.13% (3rd percentile) reflect constrained real-world impact: exploitation is local, requires user interaction, and produces only integrity-level spoofing. No active exploitation has been confirmed - this vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, and SSVC assessment indicates exploitation status of none.
Technical ContextAI
Chrome Custom Tabs is an Android API that allows third-party apps to embed a Chrome-powered browser session while preserving app context and native UI chrome elements such as the toolbar and URL bar. The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): the CustomTabs component on Android fails to sufficiently validate untrusted input sourced from a file, creating an opportunity for an attacker to inject or manipulate UI elements - such as the displayed origin or page chrome - to present deceptive content. This vulnerability is specific to the Android implementation of CustomTabs and does not extend to desktop Chrome. The affected CPE scope, per EUVD, covers Chrome for Android versions in the range below 150.0.7871.47.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome on Android to version 150.0.7871.47 or later via the Google Play Store or Chrome's built-in auto-update mechanism. The vendor advisory confirming this fix is available at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. As a compensating control where immediate update is not possible, restrict or disable apps that invoke the CustomTabs API with user-supplied or externally-sourced file inputs, as this limits the attack surface. Enterprise Android deployments managed via MDM can enforce minimum Chrome version policy. No known adverse side effects of applying the patch have been reported.
