| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the victim to be running Google Chrome prior to 151.0.7922.72 on a desktop platform and to actively interact with attacker-controlled network traffic - for example, visiting a malicious page or resource that triggers the password UI. User interaction is explicitly required (UI:R in the CVSS vector); passive, background exploitation without a user action is not possible. The flaw is scoped specifically to Chrome's Passwords feature and is not a generic browser-engine issue. Limiting factors include: mandatory active user interaction (UI:R), the attack is not automatable per SSVC, Chromium rates this Low severity indicating a narrow practical impact surface, and no authentication or elevated privileges are required of the attacker. The exact network trigger (e.g., specific HTTP response headers, redirects, or content types that influence the password UI) is not publicly detailed. |
| Impact | CVSS 4.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N indicates network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring user interaction, with limited integrity impact and no confidentiality or availability consequences. EPSS at 0.15% (5th percentile) reflects very low observed exploitation probability across the broader threat landscape. SSVC independently confirms exploitation status as none, the attack is not automatable, and technical impact is only partial - all three signals align and consistently indicate low operational urgency. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The mandatory user interaction (UI:R) is a meaningful limiting factor: passive drive-by exploitation without any victim action is not possible. Despite network accessibility and no attacker privileges required, the convergence of low EPSS, no KEV listing, non-automatable SSVC classification, and UI:R requirement make this a low priority relative to other network-reachable, unauthenticated vulnerabilities. The 'Information Disclosure' tag in the input is noted but appears inconsistent with the CVSS impact metrics (C:N) - the primary impact is integrity-based UI misrepresentation, not direct data exfiltration. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a malicious web resource and directs a Chrome user to interact with it; the malicious network traffic causes Chrome's password UI to render spoofed prompts that misrepresent the site context or credential target. The victim, trusting the falsified Chrome UI, submits credentials intended for a legitimate service, which are instead captured by the attacker. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and replication requires user interaction rather than passive browsing. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 30, 2026
UI spoofing in Google Chrome's Passwords subsystem (versions prior to 151.0.7922.72) enables remote attackers to manipulate password-related UI elements through malicious network traffic, potentially deceiving users into submitting credentials to unintended destinations. Exploitation requires active user interaction (UI:R per CVSS), and real-world risk is constrained by an EPSS of 0.15% (5th percentile) and SSVC confirmation of no known exploitation and a non-automatable attack path. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; vendor patch is available in Chrome 151.0.7922.72.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or later, which resolves this vulnerability per the Chrome Stable Channel advisory (http://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/07/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_0887107924.html). Chrome auto-updates on most desktop configurations; verify the installed version via chrome://settings/help and confirm it reads 151.0.7922.72 or higher. Enterprise administrators deploying Chrome via policy (Google Admin Console or ADMX templates) should push the update through their management channel and confirm endpoint compliance. No documented workaround exists for this UI spoofing issue - the patch is the definitive remediation. Given the low CVSS score and no active exploitation, this update can be applied on the normal patch cycle rather than as an emergency deployment.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-451 (UI Misrepresentation of Critical Information) captures cases where a rendered UI element misleads users about the nature of data or actions they are taking. In Chrome's password manager implementation, an inappropriate handling of network-delivered content allows crafted traffic to influence how password-related UI - such as autofill prompts or credential save dialogs - is presented to the user. This can cause the browser to display misleading context about the target site or credential scope. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all Chrome desktop versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 across platforms. The root cause is not a memory-safety issue but a logic/presentation flaw in how the Passwords feature processes or reflects externally-supplied information.

Sources disagree (Low–Critical)AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
Network delivery requires no attacker privileges, but mandatory user interaction limits automation; integrity-only impact as spoofed UI may redirect credential submission with no confidentiality or availability effect.
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.
