Insufficient policy enforcement in Chrome for iOS in Google Chrome on iOS 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 for iOS prior to 151.0.7922.72 enables remote attackers to circumvent browser-enforced navigation policies by delivering a crafted HTML page to a victim. The flaw originates from insufficient client-side policy enforcement (CWE-602), where the iOS-specific Chrome policy engine fails to prevent unauthorized navigation actions triggered by attacker-controlled content. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and an EPSS score of 0.18% (8th percentile) indicates minimal current exploitation activity; vendor-released patch 151.0.7922.72 is available.
Technical ContextAI
CWE-602 (Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security) describes a class of flaws where security controls are implemented on the client side and can therefore be bypassed by a malicious actor controlling the input. In Chrome for iOS, navigation restriction policies - such as those governing cross-origin navigation, popup blocking, or redirect controls - are enforced at the browser's policy layer. When a specially crafted HTML page is rendered, it can exploit gaps in how Chrome for iOS evaluates or applies these policies, causing the browser to permit navigation actions it should otherwise block. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, though the vulnerability is scoped specifically to the iOS platform variant as stated in the CVE description, a distinction the broad CPE string does not capture.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to update Google Chrome on iOS to version 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Apple App Store; this is the vendor-released patch confirmed by the Chrome Releases blog at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Organizations managing iOS fleets via MDM should push the update through their mobile device management solution. As an interim compensating control prior to patching, users should be instructed not to follow links from untrusted sources in Chrome for iOS; this reduces exposure given the UI:R attack requirement but does not eliminate it. Restricting access to untrusted external web content at the network or DNS filtering layer can further reduce exposure, though this carries usability trade-offs. No workaround eliminates the vulnerability without patching.
