| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that the attacker deliver a crafted HTML page to a victim browsing with Google Chrome on Android (specifically versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) - the vulnerability does not affect Chrome on desktop platforms. User interaction is required per the CVSS UI:R metric: the victim must actively visit or be redirected to the attacker-controlled page during the same device session. The local attack vector (AV:L) means the attacker must either control web content rendered locally on the device or redirect the victim via phishing/malicious links accessible on the device. No attacker system privileges are required (PR:N). Exploitation is limited by: the Android-only scope of the flaw, the necessity of user interaction, the low confidentiality impact (clipboard data only, no integrity or availability effects), and the absence of any network-reachable attack surface. This is not exploitable remotely against default configurations without the victim visiting the malicious page. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.3 (Low) score reflects the realistic risk profile accurately. The vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N indicates local attack vector, low complexity, no system privileges required, but mandatory user interaction and limited scope (C:L only). The local attack vector (AV:L) is the primary risk-limiting factor - attackers must achieve some form of local or device-proximate access to exploit this. EPSS at 0.13% (3rd percentile) corroborates the low exploitation likelihood. There is no CISA KEV listing and no known public POC, confirming this is not currently a priority threat. No conflicting signals between CVSS and description - the local vector is consistent with the requirement to serve a crafted HTML page to the victim on the same device. For most enterprise environments, this represents a low-priority patching item unless the organization manages shared Android devices or BYOD fleets with elevated clipboard sensitivity. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A threat actor hosts a crafted HTML page that invokes the Clipboard API in a manner that bypasses Chrome's cross-origin input validation on Android. When a victim using Chrome on Android visits this page - potentially via a phishing link or malicious ad - the page silently reads clipboard contents that originated from a different site (for example, a password or session token the user previously copied). No public POC exists at time of analysis, and the attack requires local device access, limiting opportunistic exploitation. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026
Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome for Android (prior to 151.0.7922.72) allows a local attacker to read clipboard contents belonging to a different browsing origin by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page. The flaw arises from insufficient input validation in Chrome's Clipboard component on Android, classified under CWE-20. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been confirmed; EPSS of 0.13% at the 3rd percentile reflects a minimal real-world exploitation probability at this time.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome on Android to version 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Google Play Store or Chrome's built-in update mechanism; this is a vendor-released patch confirmed by the Chrome Releases blog at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. As a compensating control prior to patching, users should avoid copying sensitive data (credentials, tokens, personal information) to the clipboard while browsing untrusted or unknown websites on Android Chrome. Site-level clipboard permissions can be reviewed and restricted within Chrome's Android site settings (Settings > Site Settings > Clipboard), which limits clipboard API access for untrusted origins - note this may break legitimate clipboard functionality on some web applications. No significant functional side effects are expected from applying the patch.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation) within Chrome's Clipboard API implementation on Android. Android's clipboard model differs from desktop operating systems - it permits inter-app clipboard access that, combined with inadequate origin validation in Chrome's Clipboard handler, creates a cross-origin data boundary violation. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome, and the description explicitly scopes the vulnerability to Android builds only, suggesting the flaw may be tied to Android-platform-specific clipboard APIs or Chrome's Android-specific rendering path. The vulnerability enables information disclosure across origins - for example, data copied from a sensitive site (banking, email) could be exfiltrated by a malicious page loaded in the same browser session.
