DescriptionCVE.org

Inappropriate implementation in Views in Google Chrome 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's Views component (prior to 151.0.7922.72) enables a remote unauthenticated attacker to deceive a victim about browser UI state or page origin by serving a crafted HTML page that triggers CWE-451 misrepresentation of critical interface elements. The CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:R) confirms the attack requires no authentication but does require the victim to visit the attacker-controlled page, limiting automated mass exploitation. No public exploit exists and SSVC rates current exploitation as none, with EPSS at only 0.17% (7th percentile), consistent with a low-severity, user-interaction-dependent flaw.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability originates in Chrome's Views framework, the cross-platform UI toolkit responsible for rendering browser chrome elements such as dialogs, permission prompts, the omnibox, and security indicators across Windows, macOS, and Linux. An 'inappropriate implementation' (CWE-451: User Interface Misrepresentation of Critical Information) in this layer allows a crafted HTML document to produce visual artifacts or overlay elements that mimic trusted browser UI, potentially masking the true origin or security state of a page. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) covers all Chrome desktop builds prior to the fixed release 151.0.7922.72. This class of flaw is distinct from content-injection; it abuses the rendering boundary between web content and browser-owned UI.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Chrome 151.0.7922.72. Update immediately via Chrome's built-in update mechanism (Settings → Help → About Google Chrome) or through enterprise deployment tools (Google Update, Omaha). The advisory is published at chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. If immediate patching is not feasible in managed environments, restricting user access to untrusted external websites reduces exposure, though this has significant usability trade-offs. Browser isolation technologies (e.g., Chrome's Site Isolation) do not mitigate Views-layer spoofing. No workaround is documented that addresses the root cause - patching is the only confirmed fix.
