MITRE ATT&CK
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 a victim using Google Chrome on iOS at a version prior to 155.0.8059.39 to open an attacker-controlled crafted HTML page; this user interaction (UI:R) is the primary limiting factor. No authentication or prior privileges are needed (PR:N), and no special victim-side configuration is indicated - the defect lies in the Passwords feature's authorization logic. Realistic risk is bounded by the need to drive the target to the malicious page and by the platform restriction to the iOS build of Chrome rather than all Chrome installs. |
| Impact | Signals are consistent and point to a genuine-but-moderate priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N, base 6.5) describes a remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity flaw whose only gating factor is user interaction, with impact confined to integrity (I:H) - consistent with a web-origin-policy bypass in Chrome's Passwords feature on iOS (CWE-863, Incorrect Authorization), rated Medium by Chromium. Threat-intel signals temper this: EPSS is only 0.20% (9th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, so this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' rather than active exploitation. The low EPSS and absence of KEV align with the Medium severity and the need for user interaction, indicating a real browser origin-isolation defect worth patching on normal cycles rather than an emergency. One point to verify: C:N with I:H is unusual for a credential-related feature - the vendor attributes integrity rather than confidentiality impact, so the practical consequence should be confirmed against the Chromium issue (501763586), which is typically access-restricted at time of analysis. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a crafted HTML page and lures a victim running Chrome on iOS prior to 155.0.8059.39 to open it. Because the page exploits an incorrect authorization check in the Passwords component, it bypasses the web origin policy and can act across origins it should not reach. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the attack depends on the user actually visiting the page (UI:R). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 09, 2026
Incorrect authorization in the Passwords component of Google Chrome on iOS lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker bypass web origin policy if a victim opens an attacker-controlled crafted HTML page (CVE-2026-106381, CWE-863). The flaw is confined to the iOS build of Chrome and to versions prior to 155.0.8059.39, which Google has addressed with a vendor-released patch; the assessed CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N, 6.5, Chromium severity Medium) scores high only for integrity impact, so the exposure is unauthorized cross-origin action or modification rather than confirmed credential disclosure. No public exploit code, proof-of-concept, or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low at 0.20% (9th percentile); the primary practical barrier is the required user interaction - driving a victim on iOS to load the malicious page.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome on iOS to 155.0.8059.39 or later via the Apple App Store - this is the vendor-released patch and the authoritative fix, documented in the Chrome stable channel advisory (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_086471744.html) with the underlying report at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/501763586. Because the release is a full iOS app update rather than a server-side toggle, there is no configuration change that fully removes the defect; if immediate updating is not possible, reduce exposure by disabling the Passwords component's user-facing behavior in Chrome's settings (turn off "Save Passwords" and "Autofill Passwords") so the affected authorization path is far less likely to be exercised by a crafted page - the trade-off is loss of credential autofill convenience and friction for users who rely on Chrome's manager. Additional compensating measures are limited and blunt: restrict iOS Chrome browsing to trusted destinations and avoid following unknown links in that app, or temporarily use a different iOS browser until the update is applied, accepting the change in sync and workflow. Given EPSS of 0.20% (9th percentile) and no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation, remediation can be scheduled through normal mobile update management, but the update should not be deferred indefinitely because the flaw is remotely reachable with a single crafted page and requires no privileges.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The defect is classified as CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) and resides in Chrome's built-in Passwords feature on iOS, which handles saved-credential storage, autofill suggestions, and the password-save/update UI. Because this component mediates between web content and credential-related browser functionality, a failure of its authorization checks can let a crafted HTML page operate outside the boundaries of its own origin, i.e. a web origin policy bypass in which the browser applies the wrong trust context to the requesting document. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) indicates the attack is network-delivered with no authentication and no special privileges, but requires victim user interaction, and the sole impact dimension is High integrity - the assessment does not claim confidentiality or availability loss, so the issue should be understood as unauthorized state/action manipulation through the origin-check flaw rather than outright password exfiltration. Google rates the Chromium security severity as Medium, and the affected platform is restricted by CPE (cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) and by the advisory to the iOS version of Chrome only, meaning desktop and Android Chrome builds are not in scope for this finding.
