Delivered via a web page (AV:N, UI:R) with no target credentials (PR:N); sandbox breakout yields a scope change (S:C) and full browser-process compromise (C/I/A:H), though a prior renderer exploit is a practical prerequisite.

DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Web Authentication in Google Chrome on Android prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High)

AnalysisAI

Sandbox escape in Google Chrome for Android before 151.0.7922.72 lets an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process break out of the browser sandbox by feeding crafted untrusted input to the Web Authentication (WebAuthn) component. Rated High severity by Chromium and scored CVSS 9.6, it is a second-stage bug chained after an initial renderer exploit rather than a standalone remote compromise. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is low at 0.34% (27th percentile).

Technical ContextAI

The flaw lives in Chrome's Web Authentication (WebAuthn) implementation, the browser API that brokers FIDO2/passkey and hardware-security-key ceremonies between web pages and the platform. On Android, WebAuthn requests cross from the sandboxed renderer to higher-privilege browser-process code that handles credential and authenticator data. The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): the trusted browser-side code insufficiently validates data arriving from the untrusted renderer, so a renderer under attacker control can supply malformed input that the privileged process mishandles. The affected code path is identified by Chromium issue 516813184. The single CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*) is version-generic, but the description scopes impact specifically to the Android build prior to 151.0.7922.72.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome for Android to 151.0.7922.72 or later, per the Chrome Releases advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html); on Android this is delivered through the Google Play Store, so ensure automatic app updates are enabled and force-update managed fleets via MDM. There is no configuration workaround for the WebAuthn code path itself, but because exploitation requires a prior renderer compromise, the practical compensating control is to prevent that first stage: keep Chrome fully current, avoid untrusted sites, and in managed environments use enterprise policies to restrict browsing to trusted destinations - with the trade-off of reduced usability. Disabling passkeys/WebAuthn is not a supported per-feature toggle and would break legitimate strong-authentication flows, so patching is the only reliable fix.
