DescriptionCVE.org

Inappropriate implementation in FullScreen in Google Chrome on Android prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to perform UI spoofing via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

UI spoofing in Google Chrome for Android prior to version 151.0.7922.72 stems from an inappropriate FullScreen API implementation that allows remote attackers to deceive users with a crafted HTML page. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) confirms this is network-accessible without authentication but requires user interaction with a malicious page. With an EPSS of 0.21% at the 11th percentile, no CISA KEV listing, and Chromium's own 'Low' severity designation, real-world exploitation interest is minimal and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

CWE-451 (User Interface Misrepresentation of Critical Information) is the root cause class - the FullScreen API in Chrome for Android is incorrectly implemented, permitting crafted pages to render UI elements that misrepresent the browser's security state, address bar, or origin context to users. FullScreen mode is an inherently high-risk surface on mobile because it suppresses the browser chrome (URL bar, lock icon, security indicators), making it a classical vector for phishing and address bar spoofing on Android. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all Chrome versions, but the description explicitly constrains the vulnerability to the Android platform. The Chromium issue tracker reference (issues.chromium.org/issues/513989304) is the upstream bug report for this specific FullScreen implementation defect.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome on Android to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which resolves the FullScreen implementation flaw per the Chrome stable channel advisory at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Users should verify automatic updates are enabled via the Google Play Store to ensure prompt delivery. No specific vendor-documented workarounds have been identified for unpatched devices; as a compensating control, users can reduce exposure by avoiding untrusted or unsolicited web links on Android and exercising heightened suspicion when any site requests or enters fullscreen mode. Restricting Chrome's fullscreen permissions at the Android OS level (if available via site settings) may limit exposure but could degrade legitimate fullscreen experiences such as video streaming.
