DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect security UI in Chrome for iOS in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to perform domain spoofing via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Domain spoofing in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 151.0.7922.72 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to misrepresent the displayed origin in the browser's security UI by delivering a crafted HTML page to a victim. The flaw (CWE-451) enables phishing-class attacks where the address bar or site identity indicator shows a trusted domain while content is served from a different origin. No public exploit has been identified and EPSS sits at 0.17% (7th percentile), indicating low automated exploitation likelihood, but the integrity impact is high for targeted phishing campaigns against iOS Chrome users.

Technical ContextAI

CWE-451 (User Interface Misrepresentation of Critical Information) describes failures in which security-critical UI elements - such as the address bar, origin indicator, or padlock icon - can be manipulated to display misleading information. In Chrome for iOS, this manifests as a rendering or navigation-state inconsistency specific to Apple's iOS platform, likely involving how Chrome on iOS (which must use WKWebView per Apple policy) processes certain HTML constructs, navigation events, or URL transitions. This differs from desktop Chromium's rendering pipeline, which is why the flaw is scoped exclusively to the iOS variant. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers Chrome broadly, but both the CVE description and the EUVD affected-versions entry ('Chrome < 151.0.7922.72' on iOS) confirm the iOS-specific scope.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 151.0.7922.72. Users should update Google Chrome on iOS to version 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Apple App Store. The fix is detailed in the Chrome stable channel update advisory at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. No documented workaround exists for the underlying UI flaw; organizations that cannot immediately enforce the update should instruct iOS Chrome users to avoid clicking unsolicited or untrusted links and to verify domain authenticity through alternate means (e.g., typing URLs directly) before submitting credentials or sensitive information. MDM-managed fleets should push the updated Chrome version via enterprise app distribution channels.
