| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that the victim is using Google Chrome on Android running a version prior to 151.0.7922.72 - the vulnerability does not affect Chrome on desktop platforms. The attacker must induce the victim to visit a crafted HTML page (UI:R per CVSS), so some form of social engineering, phishing, or malicious ad delivery is necessary. No authentication is required on the attacker's side (PR:N), and no special server-side configuration is needed - a static HTML page is sufficient. Limiting factors: exploitation is not automatable (SSVC), requires active user navigation to attacker-controlled content, and is restricted solely to the Android platform. Non-Android Chrome users and users on patched 151.0.7922.72+ are not affected. |
| Impact | Real-world risk is low across all available signals. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium band, Low Chromium severity) reflects a narrow impact: Integrity only (I:L), no Confidentiality or Availability impact, and a Scope of Unchanged. User interaction is required (UI:R), meaning passive users cannot be exploited without visiting a crafted page. EPSS sits at 0.16% in the 6th percentile - indicating this vulnerability is less likely to be exploited than 94% of tracked CVEs. The SSVC decision framework corroborates: Exploitation=none, Automatable=no, Technical Impact=partial. KEV status is absent, confirming no confirmed active exploitation. The tags include 'Information Disclosure,' which partially conflicts with the CVSS C:N rating - this may reflect browser-context information leakage secondary to the spoofing, but the primary impact remains UI integrity. No CVSS/description conflict is apparent regarding attack vector; the network-accessible crafted HTML page delivery model is consistent. Overall, this is a low-priority finding for most environments. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page that exploits Chrome for Android's input handling to render spoofed UI elements - such as a false address bar, permission prompt, or credential dialog - over legitimate content. When an Android Chrome user visits the page (via a phishing link, malicious ad, or redirect), the spoofed interface element deceives the user into performing a security-sensitive action, such as granting a permission or entering credentials into a fake form. No public exploit code exists at time of analysis, and the attack is not automatable per SSVC. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026
UI spoofing in Google Chrome for Android (prior to 151.0.7922.72) enables remote unauthenticated attackers to present misleading interface elements to users through a crafted HTML page. The flaw stems from an inappropriate implementation in Chrome's input handling on Android, classified under CWE-451 (UI Misrepresentation of Critical Information), meaning the browser fails to correctly represent critical UI state to the user. No public exploit code exists and CISA has not listed this in KEV; EPSS is extremely low at 0.16% (6th percentile), consistent with Chromium's own Low severity classification.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome for Android to version 151.0.7922.72 or later via the Google Play Store or Chrome's built-in update mechanism; this is the vendor-confirmed patched release per the Chrome stable channel advisory at chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html. No viable workaround exists that preserves normal browsing functionality, as the flaw is in core input handling. As a compensating control, organizations managing Android device fleets via MDM can enforce a minimum Chrome version policy to block use of unpatched versions. Users who cannot immediately update should avoid visiting untrusted HTML pages on Android Chrome, though this significantly limits utility. Enabling Safe Browsing in Chrome settings provides partial mitigation against known malicious pages but does not address the underlying implementation flaw.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-451 describes failures in which the user interface misrepresents critical information, allowing an attacker to cause the victim to make security-relevant decisions based on false UI context - commonly used in address-bar spoofing, permission dialog manipulation, or input field overlay attacks. The vulnerability is specific to Chrome's Android implementation of input handling, suggesting the spoofing vector may involve on-screen keyboard interactions, text input overlays, or touch-based UI elements that behave differently from the desktop counterpart. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* scoped to Android, with all Chrome for Android versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 considered vulnerable. The Chromium issue tracker reference (issues.chromium.org/issues/522404101) is the upstream bug record.
