DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in DevTools 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: Low)

AnalysisAI

Navigation restriction bypass in Google Chrome's DevTools component affects all versions prior to 151.0.7922.72, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to circumvent navigation controls by delivering a crafted HTML page to an unsuspecting user. The root cause is improper input validation (CWE-20) within DevTools, with impact limited to integrity (I:L) and no confidentiality or availability consequence. No public exploit exists and no CISA KEV listing is present; EPSS of 0.18% (8th percentile) and Chromium's own Low severity rating together indicate minimal real-world exploitation risk.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in DevTools, the built-in developer tooling suite embedded in Google Chrome. DevTools processes HTML and JavaScript inputs for inspection and debugging; insufficient validation of untrusted input in this component (CWE-20 - Improper Input Validation) allows a specially crafted HTML page to bypass navigation restriction logic within DevTools processing. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, encompassing all Chrome builds across platforms prior to version 151.0.7922.72. Navigation restrictions in browser contexts are security boundaries designed to prevent unauthorized cross-origin or privileged navigation, and their bypass can enable attacker-controlled redirections or policy circumvention.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, as documented in the stable channel release advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Chrome's auto-update mechanism delivers this patch automatically on most managed and consumer installations; users can manually verify and trigger the update via chrome://settings/help. For enterprise environments where immediate patching is constrained, applying the DevToolsAvailability=Disallow Group Policy setting removes the vulnerable DevTools attack surface entirely, though this disables developer tooling for all users in scope - a trade-off acceptable only in production or non-developer endpoints. No other workaround fully mitigates the vulnerability without patching.
