DescriptionCVE.org

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

AnalysisAI

UI spoofing in Google Chrome for iOS prior to 151.0.7922.72 allows a remote attacker to deceive users about the origin or content of a web page by exploiting a race condition via a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability requires the victim to visit the attacker-controlled page (UI:R), but no authentication or elevated privileges are needed. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis; EPSS places exploitation probability at 0.14% (4th percentile), indicating low observed exploitation activity despite medium CVSS severity.

Technical ContextAI

CWE-362 (Concurrent Execution Using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization) describes a race condition where two or more threads or processes access a shared resource without adequate locking, producing inconsistent or attacker-influenced state. In the context of a mobile browser, race conditions in UI rendering pipelines can allow a crafted page to transiently or permanently alter browser chrome elements - such as the address bar, security indicators, or modal dialogs - in ways the user cannot distinguish from legitimate content. Chrome on iOS is distinct from desktop Chrome and from Safari: Google's browser shell and navigation UI layer sit atop Apple's mandated WebKit rendering engine, meaning the race likely resides in Google's own iOS UI orchestration code rather than in the WebKit core. The affected CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all Chrome versions, with EUVD data narrowing the vulnerable range to any Chrome iOS build before 151.0.7922.72.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome on iOS to version 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Apple App Store. The fix is confirmed available per the Chrome stable channel advisory at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Organizations managing iOS device fleets via MDM should push the update through App Store volume purchasing or enforce a minimum Chrome version policy. If immediate update is not possible, a compensating control is to restrict access to untrusted web destinations using a web content filter or DNS-layer security on managed devices - this reduces the attack surface by preventing users from visiting attacker-controlled pages, though it cannot fully substitute for patching and will block legitimate browsing. No configuration-level workaround within Chrome itself has been identified.
