UI misrepresentation in Core in Google Chrome on on Mac prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to spoof UI elements via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

UI spoofing in Google Chrome on macOS prior to 152.0.7977.65 enables a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to forge browser UI elements via a crafted HTML page, potentially deceiving users into believing they are interacting with a trusted interface. The vulnerability is macOS-specific and requires renderer process compromise as an explicit prerequisite, significantly limiting its standalone exploitability. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the attacker has already achieved compromise of the Chrome renderer process on macOS - this is an explicit prerequisite stated in the CVE description ('had compromised the renderer process') and represents a substantial technical barrier, typically requiring a separate, higher-severity browser vulnerability. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N reflects limited integrity-only impact and no confidentiality or availability concern. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has separately exploited a renderer process vulnerability in Chrome on macOS - for example via a memory-corruption bug in the JavaScript engine - then serves a crafted HTML page that manipulates how the browser process renders UI elements. The result could be a spoofed address bar or falsified padlock indicator, tricking the user into trusting a malicious site or dismissing a genuine security warning. …
Remediation Upgrade Google Chrome to version 152.0.7977.65 or later on all macOS systems. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
