Exploitation Conditions

The target must be running Google Chrome on an Android device with an NFC-capable hardware stack, using a Chrome version prior to 151.0.7922.72. The attacker must induce the user to visit a crafted HTML page (UI:R per CVSS vector) - exploitation cannot occur without this user interaction step. No authentication or special privilege is required from the attacker's side (PR:N per CVSS vector). No special server-side configuration of the target environment is required; the flaw exists in default Chrome-on-Android behavior when the NFC API is accessible. What limits exploitation: the mandatory user interaction (page visit), the Android-only scope of the NFC API implementation, the low volume of cross-origin data accessible via this vector, and the absence of code execution capability - impact is strictly limited to partial information disclosure.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) reflects a remotely triggerable flaw requiring only user interaction (page visit), with no privileges or special configuration needed on the attacker's side. However, the actual risk signals are uniformly subdued: EPSS is 0.17% at the 7th percentile, indicating extremely low observed or predicted exploitation activity; SSVC marks exploitation as none, automatable as no, and technical impact as only partial; the CVE is not in the CISA KEV catalog; and no public exploit code has been identified. The impact is strictly confined to confidentiality (C:L), with no integrity or availability consequence. Chromium itself rates this Low. The AC:L and PR:N metrics could be alarming in isolation, but combined with UI:R and C:L-only impact, this represents a low operational priority - the primary concern is cross-origin data exposure, not code execution or system compromise. There is no conflicting data between signals here; all sources consistently point to a low-priority, theoretical-at-present issue.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker hosts a specially crafted HTML page and socially engineers an Android user into visiting it using Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72. The page exploits the NFC policy enforcement gap to read data from a cross-origin context - for example, content from another tab or origin the user is authenticated to - and exfiltrates it to the attacker-controlled server. No public exploit code has been identified, making this scenario currently theoretical.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026

Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome for Android (prior to 151.0.7922.72) stems from insufficient policy enforcement in the NFC subsystem, enabling a remote attacker to read data across origin boundaries. An unauthenticated attacker (per PR:N in the CVSS vector) can serve a crafted HTML page that, when visited by a target on Android Chrome, bypasses same-origin policy checks tied to NFC API handling, resulting in limited confidentiality disclosure. No active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, EPSS sits at 0.17% (7th percentile), and Chromium itself rates this Low severity - placing real-world risk well below its nominal network-accessible footprint.

RemediationAI

The primary fix is to update Google Chrome for Android to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, as detailed in the Stable Channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. The patch is confirmed available from the vendor per advisory and EUVD data. For organizations unable to deploy the update immediately, compensating controls include restricting access to untrusted or external web content on managed Android devices via Mobile Device Management (MDM) policy, and disabling NFC at the device level where NFC functionality is not required - though disabling NFC system-wide is disruptive to contactless payment and other NFC-dependent workflows. Given the low severity and absence of active exploitation, urgent emergency patching is not warranted; inclusion in the next standard Chrome update cycle is appropriate for most environments.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is classified as CWE-346 (Origin Validation Error), meaning the browser fails to correctly enforce its same-origin policy for a specific subsystem - in this case, the Web NFC API available on Android. The Web NFC API provides JavaScript access to NFC tag reading and writing on supported Android devices; Chrome is expected to gate cross-origin access through strict policy checks. The insufficient enforcement allows policy to be sidestepped, permitting a page to read data that should be restricted to a different origin. The affected codebase is Google Chrome (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome) on Android, versions prior to the 151.0.7922.72 stable release. This is a browser-layer policy bug, not an NFC hardware or OS vulnerability.
