1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to have ALREADY compromised the Chrome renderer process on Android (a prior, separate exploit) before this flaw can be used; it is a second-stage site-isolation bypass, not an initial-access bug. It additionally requires user interaction - the victim must load a crafted HTML page (UI:R). It is specific to Google Chrome on Android prior to 155.0.8059.39. The renderer-compromise prerequisite and required user interaction are the primary limiting factors, and they explain why both the vendor severity (Low) and EPSS (0.21%) are low despite the 8.2 CVSS score. |
| Impact | Signals conflict sharply here and must be weighed carefully. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.2 (High) with an AV:N/PR:N/UI:R/S:C vector implying a network-reachable, unauthenticated flaw with a scope change - but the vendor (Chromium) rates the security severity as 'Low,' and the description makes clear this is NOT a standalone remote bug: the attacker must ALREADY have compromised the renderer process before this site-isolation bypass is reachable. That prerequisite is the single most important risk-limiting factor and is not reflected in the PR:N metric (Chrome's scoring convention does not treat renderer compromise as a 'privilege'). EPSS is 0.21% (11th percentile), consistent with the vendor's Low rating and indicating very low near-term exploitation probability. The CVE is NOT on CISA KEV and no public exploit code is referenced. Net: despite the 8.2 headline, this is a second-stage sandbox/isolation-bypass primitive useful only to an attacker who already holds a renderer exploit - a meaningful component for a full chain but not a standalone priority. Treat as routine patch-cycle severity, not emergency, while noting that site-isolation bypasses are valuable building blocks in exploit chains. Discrepancy to verify: CVSS High vs vendor Low, and PR:N vs the description's explicit 'compromised the renderer process' precondition. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has already exploited a separate renderer-process vulnerability (e.g., via a malicious ad or compromised site) lures a Chrome-on-Android user to a crafted HTML page. From within the compromised renderer, the attacker abuses the Actor authorization flaw to bypass site isolation and read data belonging to other origins. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis; the renderer-compromise prerequisite and required user interaction (visiting the page) substantially limit real-world use. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026
Site isolation bypass in Google Chrome for Android (versions prior to 155.0.8059.39) lets an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process cross the per-site process boundary and reach data that should remain isolated to other origins, triggered when the victim loads a crafted HTML page. It is a second-stage flaw rather than an initial-access vector: exploitation is gated on a separate, pre-existing renderer compromise plus required user interaction (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:L/A:N), which is why the vendor assigned a Chromium severity of Low even though the base score is 8.2. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, no CISA KEV listing, and EPSS is only 0.21% (11th percentile); a vendor patch is available, so the residual risk is concentrated in unpatched Android clients that are simultaneously exposed to a first-stage renderer exploit.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome for Android to 155.0.8059.39 or later, delivered through the Play Store stable channel or via managed Play/enterprise distribution; this is the only complete fix, and it addresses the Actor authorization defect directly. Because this is a second-stage site-isolation bypass, the more consequential hardening is to reduce the likelihood of the required first-stage renderer compromise: keep Chrome fully patched, avoid browsing untrusted links on the affected builds, and on managed Android fleets enforce auto-update policies and minimum-version compliance so no device remains below 155.0.8059.39 while other renderer-level bugs are exploitable. Compensating controls, in order of practicality: confirm Site Isolation is enabled on the Android client (it is on by default in modern Chrome; if a flag or enterprise policy has disabled it, re-enable it - the trade-off is higher per-site memory and process overhead on low-RAM devices); restrict or block access from affected devices to untrusted web content until they update, which carries an obvious usability cost; and, where a managed configuration is available, push policies that disable or gate risky web features and tighten Safe Browsing enforcement, accepting that these reduce but do not eliminate the bypass. Disabling JavaScript wholesale on untrusted sites would break most of the modern web and is not recommended as a general mitigation. Note that there is no vendor-published workaround that restores the isolation guarantee on an unpatched build, so treating the update as mandatory is the correct posture.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause class is CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization): an authorization check inside Chromium's Actor component on Android fails to properly validate the acting principal, so a renderer that has already been taken over can perform actions or access resources it should be denied. This matters because Chrome's Site Isolation architecture is the defense-in-depth layer that places different sites into separate OS processes precisely so that a compromised renderer cannot read cross-origin memory; a bypass of that boundary converts a contained renderer bug into a cross-origin data disclosure. The assessed vector's S:C (scope changed) and C:H (high confidentiality impact) components reflect that boundary crossing, while the limited I:L and A:N components mean the flaw itself is primarily a confidentiality/isolation break rather than a memory-corruption or denial-of-service primitive. The AV:N/PR:N components describe the network-delivered, unauthenticated CVSS framing, but the practical prerequisite is a prior renderer-process compromise, and UI:R reflects that the victim must navigate to or load the attacker's crafted HTML page. The affected CPE range, cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, is generic rather than version-bounded, so version scoping should be taken from the advisory text (Android builds below 155.0.8059.39) and from EUVD-2026-93609; the upstream fix is tracked in Chromium issue 517703787 and shipped in the Chrome stable channel update for desktop/Android referenced by the release blog.

Matches vendor vector: delivered via crafted page (AV:N, UI:R) with a scope-changing isolation bypass (S:C) leaking cross-origin data (C:H, I:L); renderer-compromise precondition is a chain dependency Chrome conventionally scores as PR:N rather than a privilege.
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.

Incorrect authorization in Actor in Google Chrome on on Android prior to 155.0.8059.39 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially bypass site isolation via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Low)
Executive ViewAI
Google Chrome for Android versions prior to 155.0.8059.39 contain a site isolation bypass that could allow an attacker who already has a foothold in the browser renderer to access data from other origins, potentially exposing sensitive corporate information on mobile devices. Although exploitation requires a separate initial compromise and user interaction, this flaw undermines a key security boundary, and a vendor patch is available. Leadership should ensure Android devices are promptly updated to mitigate residual risk, especially given the high CVSS score and potential for data exposure.
Apply vendor patch.
