Incorrect security UI in Passwords in Google Chrome 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 via incorrect security UI in Google Chrome's built-in Passwords feature affects all Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.72. Remote unauthenticated attackers can serve a crafted HTML page that causes Chrome to misrepresent the origin domain within the password management UI, enabling deception of users into associating saved credentials with an attacker-controlled domain. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS at 0.18% (8th percentile) signals very low automated exploitation probability, though Chrome's ubiquitous deployment makes even low-probability credential phishing scenarios broadly impactful.
Technical ContextAI
CWE-451 (User Interface Misrepresentation of Critical Information) identifies the root cause: Chrome's Passwords UI fails to correctly display or validate the security origin when rendering certain crafted HTML constructs, breaking the browser's trust boundary between domains. The affected component is the built-in Chrome password manager - not a third-party extension - which relies on accurate domain attribution to correctly autofill, save, or prompt for credentials. When this domain signal is spoofed at the UI layer, users may save credentials against a malicious origin or be misled about which domain a password prompt belongs to. CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all Chrome browser versions across platforms prior to the fixed 151.0.7922.72 release. The Chromium security team rated this Medium severity internally.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later - this is the vendor-confirmed fixed release documented in the Chrome stable channel update at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Chrome typically auto-updates, so ensuring the auto-update mechanism is not disabled is the primary action for most users and administrators. As a compensating control for environments where immediate patching is delayed, security teams can disable Chrome's built-in password manager via enterprise policy (PasswordManagerEnabled=false) and redirect users to a separately managed password manager - note this disrupts user workflow and may lead to weaker credential hygiene. User awareness guidance around verifying domain indicators before accepting password save/autofill prompts can reduce exploitation likelihood in the interim.
