Vulnerability Assessment

Weakness
CWE
Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to have local access to the Android device and the ability to deliver a crafted HTML page to the victim. The victim must actively open and interact with that HTML page in Chrome on Android (UI:R), meaning passive or drive-by exploitation is not possible under this attack vector. The vulnerability is platform-specific to Android - Chrome on other operating systems is not identified as affected. The CVSS vector AV:L/PR:N/UI:R confirms no attacker authentication or elevated privileges are required, but the local attack vector rules out purely remote exploitation. The limiting factors for defenders are therefore: physical or logical local access to the device is required, user interaction cannot be bypassed, and only Android Chrome builds prior to 151.0.7922.72 are in scope.

Impact

All available signals consistently rate this vulnerability as low priority. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 3.3 (Low), with AV:L requiring local access - not remote network exploitation - which significantly limits the attacker pool. The PR:N metric indicates no attacker privileges are needed, but UI:R means the victim must interact with the attacker-controlled HTML page. EPSS sits at 0.11% (2nd percentile), reflecting extremely low community expectation of exploitation in the wild. CISA SSVC corroborates this: exploitation is confirmed as none, the attack is not automatable, and technical impact is only partial. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public proof-of-concept code identified. The impact is limited to confidentiality (C:L) with no integrity or availability consequence. The only non-trivial risk angle is that Android is a high-prevalence mobile platform, but the local attack vector and required user interaction make mass exploitation implausible. This is a real vulnerability warranting patching in routine cycles, not emergency response.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with access to an Android device places a specially crafted HTML page on the filesystem or delivers it via a local channel (e.g., USB transfer, locally-hosted link, malicious app writing to shared storage). When the victim opens the page in Chrome on Android, the inappropriate origin validation implementation allows the page's JavaScript to read data from a different origin - such as contents of another tab or local resource - that should be protected by the Same-Origin Policy. No public proof-of-concept exploit has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026

Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome on Android prior to 151.0.7922.72 enables a local attacker to read data from a different origin by directing a victim user to a crafted HTML page. The flaw stems from an inappropriate browser implementation (CWE-346 Origin Validation Error), undermining the Same-Origin Policy's isolation guarantees on the Android platform. No public exploit code exists and no active exploitation has been observed; SSVC assessment confirms exploitation status as none, making this a low-urgency but noteworthy information-disclosure defect.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome on Android to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which is confirmed as the patched release per the vendor advisory at http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. Chrome updates on Android are distributed through the Google Play Store and typically apply automatically; users and administrators should verify that automatic updates are enabled and confirm the installed version is at or above 151.0.7922.72. If an immediate update is not feasible, the practical compensating control is to instruct Android users not to open HTML pages from untrusted local sources, as the attack requires user interaction with a crafted page. There are no known configuration-level workarounds that disable the vulnerable code path without removing browser functionality. Given the low CVSS score and SSVC exploitation status of none, patch deployment in the next standard patch cycle is appropriate rather than emergency rollout.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-346 (Origin Validation Error) identifies failures in correctly validating or enforcing origin boundaries - in this case within Chrome's browser implementation specifically on Android. The Same-Origin Policy (SOP) is the foundational web security primitive preventing one origin from reading data belonging to another; an 'inappropriate implementation' in the browser engine means Chrome's Android-specific code path does not correctly apply this boundary under certain conditions, allowing a crafted HTML page to extract data it should never be able to access. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all Chrome releases on Android before 151.0.7922.72. This class of bug differs from a classic SOP bypass in that it results from an implementation quirk rather than an explicit logic error, which aligns with Chromium's 'Inappropriate implementation' severity label.
