Navigation bypass enables limited cross-origin access supporting C:L and I:L; no mechanism for availability impact is described, so A:N is assessed rather than A:L.
vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

Inappropriate implementation in Isolated Web Apps in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to bypass navigation restrictions via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
AnalysisAI
Navigation restriction bypass in Google Chrome's Isolated Web Apps (IWA) subsystem allows remote unauthenticated attackers to circumvent sandboxing controls by luring a user to a crafted HTML page. Versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 are affected. No public exploit exists and SSVC confirms no active exploitation; with an EPSS of 0.22% at the 13th percentile, this is a medium-priority defect addressed by Chrome's stable-channel update released in July 2026.
Technical ContextAI
Isolated Web Apps is a Chrome security feature that enforces strict navigation restrictions, origin isolation, and content policies for installable web applications, analogous to a stricter Content Security Policy sandbox. The root cause is classified as CWE-284 (Improper Access Control): the Chrome engine does not correctly enforce navigation policy boundaries within the IWA context, allowing a crafted page to navigate to restricted origins or endpoints that should be inaccessible. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all Chrome variants on all platforms prior to the fixed release.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Chrome 151.0.7922.72. Update Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later via the browser's built-in update mechanism (Help > About Google Chrome) or via enterprise MDM/GPO deployment; the update is documented in the stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. For organizations that cannot immediately patch, a practical interim control is to restrict or disable Isolated Web App installations via Chrome enterprise policy (IsolatedWebAppsEnabled set to false) - this eliminates the vulnerable attack surface but also disables IWA functionality for users. No alternative network-level workaround effectively mitigates this class of client-side navigation bypass.
