DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient policy enforcement in DevTools in Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 allowed a local attacker to bypass navigation restrictions via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

Navigation restriction bypass in Google Chrome's DevTools component (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) allows a local attacker to circumvent browser navigation policies via a crafted HTML page. The insufficient policy enforcement within DevTools produces an integrity-high impact (CVSS I:H) without requiring attacker privileges. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists; an EPSS score of 0.12% (2nd percentile) and Google's internal 'Low' Chromium severity rating together confirm this as a low immediate exploitation priority.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in the DevTools component of Google Chrome (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), the Chromium-based browser deployed at global scale. Chrome DevTools is an embedded suite of debugging and inspection tools that operates with elevated browser-internal trust. The flaw represents insufficient enforcement of navigation policies within the DevTools context, meaning security controls that restrict or govern page navigation - such as browser-internal navigation guards - are not properly applied when DevTools is involved. No CWE is assigned in the available data, but the behavior is consistent with CWE-358 (Improperly Implemented Security Check for Standard) or CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure). The attack vector involves a crafted HTML page, indicating the policy bypass is triggered through DevTools' interaction with attacker-controlled page content. The Chromium issue tracker entry (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/519232592) is cited as a reference but internal details are not confirmed accessible.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which is confirmed as the vendor-released patch per the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Chrome's automatic update mechanism typically handles this without manual intervention; verify the installed version by navigating to chrome://settings/help. As a compensating control prior to patching, enterprise administrators can restrict DevTools access via the DeveloperToolsAvailability enterprise policy (set to 2 to disable DevTools entirely), which eliminates the vulnerable surface; note this trade-off is significant as it breaks all developer workflows and browser debugging capabilities for managed users. No additional workarounds are identified in the available advisory data.
