Referrer leak is a confidentiality impact (C:L), not integrity; no integrity or availability consequence applies to the vulnerable system.
vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

Insufficient policy enforcement in Chrome for iOS in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a remote attacker to bypass no-referrer policy via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)
AnalysisAI
No-referrer policy bypass in Google Chrome for iOS prior to 151.0.7922.72 allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to exfiltrate origin page URL information that the site operator explicitly suppressed via the Referrer-Policy header. Exploitation requires luring a victim to a crafted HTML page, classifying this as a social-engineering-dependent, low-severity integrity/confidentiality boundary failure. No active exploitation is confirmed (not in CISA KEV), EPSS sits at the 8th percentile (0.18%), and SSVC rates technical impact as only partial - signaling a low operational priority despite the network attack vector.
Technical ContextAI
CWE-602 (Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security) identifies the root cause: the browser - acting as the enforcement agent for server-defined policy - fails to honour the no-referrer directive when processing a maliciously crafted HTML page. The Referrer-Policy: no-referrer HTTP header instructs browsers to suppress the Referer request header on outbound navigations; when Chrome for iOS mishandles this policy, the full or partial URL of the originating page is transmitted to a third-party destination. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering versions on iOS prior to 151.0.7922.72. This is an iOS-specific code path divergence from Chromium's desktop policy-enforcement logic, as the Chrome Releases advisory targets the iOS stable channel specifically.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome on iOS to version 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Apple App Store. The vendor-released patch is confirmed available per the Chrome stable channel update advisory at chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html and the Chromium issue tracker at issues.chromium.org/issues/517631680. If immediate update is not possible, site operators relying on no-referrer policy for privacy guarantees should consider adding the rel='noreferrer' attribute directly to anchor tags as a belt-and-suspenders measure, as this attribute is honoured at the HTML level and may be less susceptible to the browser-level policy bypass. Note this workaround requires modifying outbound links on the site, not a client-side fix. Users on iOS should ensure automatic app updates are enabled to receive the patch without manual intervention.
