DescriptionCVE.org

Inappropriate implementation in DevTools in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to bypass navigation restrictions via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

Navigation restriction bypass in Google Chrome's DevTools component (all versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) permits remote attackers to circumvent browser navigation controls when a user is socially engineered into performing specific UI gestures on a crafted HTML page. Despite a CVSS integrity impact of High, the Chromium team internally classifies this as Low severity - a meaningful signal that real-world exploitability is more constrained than the base score implies. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified (EPSS: 0.18%, 8th percentile), and a vendor-released patch is available in Chrome 151.0.7922.72.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in Chrome's DevTools - the built-in browser tooling suite used for debugging, inspecting, and profiling web applications. The root cause is described as 'inappropriate implementation,' indicating a logic or design flaw rather than a memory safety issue; no CWE has been assigned. The flaw allows browser-enforced navigation restrictions - policies controlling where pages may navigate - to be bypassed through attacker-controlled interaction with the DevTools subsystem. The affected product is identified by CPE as cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all Chrome desktop releases prior to 151.0.7922.72 across Windows, macOS, and Linux. The Chromium issue tracker entry (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/513864014) is likely access-restricted, consistent with standard Chrome security disclosure practice.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later - this is the vendor-released patched version that addresses this vulnerability, confirmed by the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Chrome applies updates automatically via its built-in update mechanism; enterprise administrators should verify that auto-update is enabled or push the update through Chrome Browser Cloud Management or Group Policy. As a compensating control prior to patching in high-risk environments, administrators can restrict DevTools access via the DeveloperToolsAvailability enterprise policy (set to 2 to disable), which eliminates the attack surface but also disables all legitimate developer tooling for affected users - a trade-off appropriate only for non-developer endpoints.
