Remote crafted page needs no auth (PR:N) but requires the user to open it (UI:R); sandbox escape crosses a trust boundary (S:C) with Low C/I/A impact matching Chromium's Medium rating.

DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in WebView in Google Chrome on Android prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome's Android WebView (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) allows a remote attacker to break out of the renderer sandbox when a victim views a crafted HTML page. Rated Medium by Chromium and CVSS 7.1, it carries a scope-changing impact but requires user interaction; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low (0.21%, 11th percentile), indicating limited near-term mass exploitation likelihood.

Technical ContextAI

The affected component is Android WebView, the embeddable Chromium-based browser engine used by countless Android applications to render web content in-process. The root cause is classified as CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): WebView insufficiently validates untrusted input (attacker-controlled HTML/DOM content), which can be leveraged to cross the renderer sandbox boundary that normally isolates web content from the underlying application and OS. Because the CVSS scope is Changed (S:C), a successful exploit affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable renderer process. The CPE provided (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome) identifies the Chrome codebase generically but does not itself distinguish the Android WebView build, which is the surface the description names.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 151.0.7922.72 - update Google Chrome / Android WebView to 151.0.7922.72 or later, which for WebView on Android is delivered through Google Play system/component updates, so ensure devices receive Play Store updates to the Android System WebView and Chrome apps. Consult the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html) and the Chromium issue (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/498877660) to confirm the exact build for your platform. Because exploitation requires the user to load attacker-controlled content, interim compensating controls include restricting WebView-based apps from loading untrusted external URLs (enforce allowlists in embedding apps), and for managed fleets pushing the WebView/Chrome update via MDM to force compliance; user-awareness against opening untrusted links reduces the UI:R exposure but is not a substitute for patching.
