Attack is executed by a co-installed local app (AV:L) with no prior privileges or victim interaction (PR:N/UI:N); origin bypass primarily exposes cross-origin data (C:H) with limited integrity and no availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect authorization in CustomTabs in Google Chrome on on Android prior to 152.0.7977.65 allowed a local attacker to bypass web origin policy via a co-installed app. (Chromium security severity: Low)

AnalysisAI

Web origin policy bypass in Google Chrome for Android before 152.0.7977.65 lets a malicious co-installed app abuse the CustomTabs component to escape same-origin restrictions and access content it should not. The flaw is a local privilege/authorization issue (Chromium-rated Low severity) requiring a second attacker-controlled app already present on the device; no public exploit has been identified and EPSS probability is very low (0.11%).

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires a second, attacker-controlled application to be co-installed on the same Android device as Chrome (versions below 152.0.7977.65); the attack is executed locally by that app against Chrome's CustomTabs component, not remotely over the network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals conflict sharply and must be read together. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker convinces the victim to install a benign-looking Android app that is co-installed alongside Chrome. Once present, that app abuses the CustomTabs authorization flaw to bypass the web origin policy and read or interact with content bound to a different web origin the user is signed into. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: 152.0.7977.65 - update Chrome for Android to 152.0.7977.65 or later via Google Play, which for most users happens automatically. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
