DescriptionCVE.org

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: High)

AnalysisAI

Navigation restriction bypass in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 151.0.7922.72 allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to circumvent the browser's built-in navigation policy controls by delivering a specially crafted HTML page. Rooted in CWE-602 (Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security), the flaw reflects an iOS-specific policy enforcement gap not present in desktop Chrome builds. The Chromium team rated this High severity internally; however, no confirmed active exploitation exists - CISA KEV is absent, EPSS stands at 0.30%, and SSVC classifies exploitation as none with partial technical impact.

Technical ContextAI

CWE-602 (Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security) identifies the root cause: security controls that should be enforced at the policy or platform layer are delegated to client-side logic and can be subverted. In Chrome for iOS, navigation restrictions govern behaviors such as cross-origin navigation, content security policies, and enterprise or MDM-applied URL filtering. The iOS-specific Chrome code path fails to adequately enforce these policies, allowing a crafted HTML page to trigger navigation to otherwise restricted destinations. Affected products are identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* for all Chrome versions below 151.0.7922.72 on iOS. The tags 'Apple, Google, Authentication Bypass' indicate the bypass may also circumvent authentication-gated navigation flows on iOS.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Google Chrome on iOS to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which is confirmed as the vendor-patched release per the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Users should apply the update via the Apple App Store, as iOS browser updates require App Store delivery. As a short-term compensating control prior to patching, restrict browsing to trusted, known-good sites in Chrome for iOS, though this substantially limits usability. Enterprise administrators using MDM platforms (e.g., Jamf, Microsoft Intune) can enforce minimum browser version policies to detect and flag unpatched iOS Chrome installations on managed devices, reducing organizational exposure.
