|
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the victim to open an attacker-crafted HTML page in Google Chrome for Android prior to 155.0.8059.39 (default configuration is sufficient - no special feature or setting must be enabled). No authentication is required (PR:N). The principal limiting factor is mandatory user interaction (UI:R): the attacker cannot trigger the spoof passively and must socially engineer the user into visiting the malicious page and then trusting the falsified UI; impact is confined to the Android Chrome client and does not yield code execution or direct data compromise. |
| Impact | This is a low-priority issue despite a mid-range CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.4. All exploitation signals point to minimal real-world risk: Chromium itself rated the security severity 'Low', CISA SSVC scores Exploitation as 'none', Automatable as 'no', and Technical Impact as only 'partial'. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) shows the flaw is network-reachable and needs no privileges, but it mandates user interaction (UI:R) and the impact is limited to UI spoofing/misrepresentation (CWE-451) rather than code execution or data theft. There is no KEV listing, no public POC identified, and no EPSS score supplied in the input, so there is no evidence of active or imminent exploitation. Note a conflict worth flagging: the provided CVSS vector lists C:L/A:L for what the description characterizes as a pure UI spoofing bug - a spoofing/misrepresentation weakness maps more naturally to a low integrity impact (I:L) than to confidentiality/availability loss, so the vendor-style vector appears imprecise. Also note the EUVD description and CWE-451 describe UI spoofing, yet the input tag 'Information Disclosure' is a loose fit. Bottom line: a genuine but low-severity client-side deception bug; patch via routine Chrome update cadence, not emergency response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts or injects a crafted HTML page and lures an Android Chrome user to open it; the page manipulates browser UI elements (e.g., address bar or security indicators) so the rendered interface misrepresents the true origin or state. The victim, trusting the spoofed UI, is deceived into treating attacker-controlled content as legitimate, enabling phishing or social-engineering follow-on. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and the attack requires the victim to actively visit the malicious page (UI:R). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026
UI misrepresentation in Google Chrome for Android before 155.0.8059.39 lets a remote attacker spoof browser interface elements by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page, potentially tricking the user into trusting falsified prompts, address-bar-like graphics, or permission dialogs rendered inside the page. The flaw is limited to the Android Chrome client and requires mandatory user interaction (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N per our independent assessment, CWE-451), so no authentication, privileges, or code execution are involved; Google rates it Chromium security severity Low. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, CISA SSVC records exploitation as none with automatable: no, and vendor-released patches are available, making this a low-priority issue despite the mid-range base score reported by some sources.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Google Chrome for Android to version 155.0.8059.39 or later, distributed through the Google Play Store as part of the referenced stable channel update (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_086471744.html); depending on staged rollout, users should check Play Store for an available update and restart the browser after installation. Because exploitation requires the victim to open an attacker-supplied HTML page, the most effective compensating control until the update lands is to avoid following unsolicited or untrusted links and to keep Chrome's Safe Browsing set to Enhanced Protection - the trade-off being that enhanced protection shares more browsing data with Google while still not eliminating user-visible spoofing once a page is loaded. Enterprises can restrict exposure through managed Chrome policies that block navigation to untrusted or uncategorized sites and force Safe Browsing enforcement via the Chrome Enterprise policy set, at the cost of reduced user browsing flexibility. Disabling JavaScript under Chrome for Android's Site settings > JavaScript is a stronger stop-gap against scripted UI spoofing but breaks the majority of modern sites and is unsuitable for general use; switching to a different, fully patched browser on affected devices is a reasonable alternative for high-risk users. Note that these are mitigations only - the only complete fix is upgrading to 155.0.8059.39 or later.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a user interface misrepresentation flaw (CWE-451) in the Mobile component of Google Chrome on Android. In this class of bug, content rendered by a web page is composed in a way that mimics trusted browser chrome - such as dialogs, toolbars, or security indicators - so the user cannot reliably distinguish legitimate browser UI from page-controlled content. The underlying technology is Blink/Chromium's rendering and UI composition layer on the Android platform, and exploitation depends entirely on the attacker's ability to deliver a crafted HTML page that the victim opens in the affected browser. No memory-corruption primitive, sandbox escape, or privilege boundary is crossed: the assessed vector is network-vectored with low attack complexity and no privileges required (PR:N), but it is gated by user interaction (UI:R) and confined to a low-integrity impact (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability effect per our analysis. The affected software is captured by the generic CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* for all builds below 155.0.8059.39; the tracking issue is Chromium bug 553276352.
