Type Confusion in Tab in Google Chrome on Android prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Sandbox escape in Google Chrome for Android (prior to 151.0.7922.72) stems from a type confusion flaw (CWE-843) in the Tab component, enabling an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to break out of Chrome's security sandbox via a crafted HTML page. This is a second-stage exploit primitive requiring renderer pre-compromise, reflected in the AC:H and S:C CVSS metrics. No active exploitation has been confirmed (not in CISA KEV), and EPSS sits at 0.20% (10th percentile), consistent with a chained, complex attack rather than opportunistic mass exploitation. Patch is available as Chrome 151.0.7922.72.
Technical ContextAI
CWE-843 (Type Confusion) occurs when code accesses a memory object as an incompatible type, producing undefined behavior and potential memory corruption. In Chrome's multi-process architecture, the renderer process is sandboxed from the OS and other Chrome processes - type confusion in the Tab component can corrupt internal state in a way that violates sandbox boundaries, allowing attacker-controlled code to escape to a more privileged execution context. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with Android as the target platform, specifically all Chrome versions below 151.0.7922.72. The CVSS S:C (Scope Changed) flag confirms that successful exploitation crosses security boundaries beyond the initially vulnerable component.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome for Android to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which contains the vendor-released patch for this issue. Users should ensure auto-update is enabled or manually update via the Google Play Store. The official release advisory is at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html and the upstream Chromium issue is tracked at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/520525732. As a compensating control where immediate patching is not possible, restricting navigation to untrusted or user-supplied URLs reduces exposure to the crafted HTML delivery vector, though this does not address the underlying flaw. Enterprise deployments using Chrome management policies can enforce minimum version requirements via Chrome Browser Cloud Management.
