Vulnerability Assessment

Weakness
CWE
Exploitation Conditions

Two concrete conditions must both be met: (1) the attacker must have already achieved renderer process compromise in the victim's Chrome for Android session via a separate, unrelated vulnerability - this is a hard prerequisite stated explicitly in the CVE description; (2) the victim must interact with a crafted HTML page (UI:R), meaning the attacker must control or inject content the user loads. Exploitation is limited to Chrome on Android prior to 151.0.7922.72 and does not affect desktop Chrome. No authentication to the target system is required beyond achieving renderer access. The CVSS AC:H rating and SSVC 'Automatable: no' classification both reflect that mass automated exploitation is not feasible.

Impact

All available signals converge on genuinely low real-world risk. The CVSS 3.1 score of 3.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) reflects high attack complexity and limited confidentiality impact. The EPSS score of 0.19% places this in the 9th percentile, indicating the vulnerability is very unlikely to see weaponized exploitation in the near term. SSVC assessment records exploitation as 'none' and technical impact as only 'partial', with the attack flagged as non-automatable. No KEV listing and no reported POC further reinforce low urgency. The critical limiting factor is the prerequisite renderer compromise: this vulnerability cannot be exploited standalone and requires a separate, more severe vulnerability to be leveraged first. The primary risk is as a data-leakage component in a multi-stage browser exploit chain targeting Android users.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has already exploited a separate Chrome renderer vulnerability (establishing code execution within the renderer sandbox) serves a crafted HTML page to the victim's Android Chrome session. The page triggers the USB policy enforcement flaw to read data across origins, leaking potentially sensitive cross-origin information back to the attacker-controlled context. No public POC has been identified, and the chained nature of the attack significantly raises the operational bar.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026

Cross-origin data leakage in Google Chrome for Android (prior to 151.0.7922.72) stems from insufficient policy enforcement in the USB component, exploitable only after the attacker has already compromised the renderer process. Exploitation requires luring a victim to a crafted HTML page in a pre-compromised renderer context, making this a secondary-stage vulnerability in a chained attack rather than a standalone threat. EPSS sits at 0.19% (9th percentile), SSVC records no exploitation activity, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV - consistent with its low severity rating and demanding prerequisite.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Google Chrome on Android to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which is the vendor-confirmed fixed release per the Chrome stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. On Android, updates are delivered via the Google Play Store; users and administrators managing Android fleets should ensure auto-updates are enabled or push the update via MDM. Because exploitation requires a prior renderer compromise, enterprise defenders who cannot immediately patch should treat any other unpatched Chrome renderer vulnerability as the higher-priority attack surface to address, since neutralizing the prerequisite renders this flaw unexploitable. No workarounds specific to the USB policy issue are documented, and disabling USB features in Chrome on Android is not user-configurable without third-party MDM policy controls.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-346 (Origin Validation Error), specifically within Chrome's USB subsystem on Android. The browser's USB policy enforcement logic failed to properly validate or enforce cross-origin boundaries, allowing data from one origin to be observed by a script running in a separate, attacker-controlled origin context. Affected product is identified via CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* on Android, affecting all versions prior to 151.0.7922.72. The Chromium security team rated this Low severity internally, consistent with the constrained exploitation conditions. The Chrome renderer process operates as a sandboxed component; this flaw only becomes exploitable if an attacker has already broken out of or subverted that sandbox via a separate vulnerability.
