Incorrect security UI in WebAppInstalls in Google Chrome prior to 150.0.7871.46 allowed a remote attacker to perform UI spoofing via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
UI spoofing in Google Chrome's WebAppInstalls component (versions prior to 150.0.7871.46) enables remote attackers to misrepresent security indicators during Progressive Web App installation prompts via a crafted HTML page. The incorrect security UI (CWE-451) can deceive users into believing they are installing a legitimate, trusted application when they are not, resulting in a low-integrity impact. EPSS is 0.18% (8th percentile), no public exploit code exists, and this vulnerability has not been added to CISA KEV, indicating minimal active exploitation risk at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in Chrome's WebAppInstalls subsystem, which governs the Progressive Web App (PWA) installation flow - including the security dialogs and origin indicators presented to users when a web app requests installation. CWE-451 (User Interface Misrepresentation of Critical Information) identifies the root cause: the UI fails to correctly render or enforce the security context of the installing origin, allowing attacker-controlled content to manipulate what the user perceives as trustworthy. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* for all desktop platform variants prior to version 150.0.7871.46. The Chromium bug tracker issue 407283320 references the internal fix.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome to version 150.0.7871.46 or later, which is confirmed as the patched release per the vendor advisory at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/06/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0175352312.html. Chrome updates automatically by default; users and administrators should verify the installed version via Help > About Google Chrome and force an update if needed. For enterprise environments where immediate patching is constrained, consider disabling PWA installation capabilities via Chrome enterprise policy (setting WebAppInstallForceList or blocking installs through group policy), noting this trade-off prevents legitimate PWA adoption. No documented workarounds short of patching have been identified by the vendor.
