MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access 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 ReadingList feature path in Google Chrome for Android (versions prior to 155.0.8059.39) and, critically, active victim interaction: the user must be socially engineered into loading an attacker-crafted HTML page (UI:R). The attack is cross-site request forgery (CWE-352), so it leverages the victim's existing in-browser context rather than needing attacker authentication (PR:N). Limiting factors that reduce real-world risk: the dependency on user interaction and social engineering, the Android-only scope (desktop/iOS Chrome not implicated by this description), and the low technical impact (limited confidentiality and integrity, no availability), which together make large-scale or automated exploitation impractical. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely medium-tier issue, and the signals are largely consistent in pointing away from urgent, widespread priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N, base 5.4) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw that nonetheless REQUIRES user interaction (UI:R) and yields only low confidentiality and low integrity impact with no availability impact. EPSS reinforces low urgency at 0.18% (7th percentile), and the vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV. SSVC reports Exploitation: none and Automatable: no, which aligns with EPSS and the UI:R requirement - a CSRF needing social engineering is inherently hard to automate at scale. One notable CONFLICT: SSVC Technical Impact is labeled 'total', which contradicts the CVSS impact metrics (only C:L/I:L, no availability) and Chromium's own 'Medium' severity rating; the SSVC 'total' value should not be read as indicating full system compromise here and appears inconsistent with the CWE-352 CSRF nature of the bug. Net: a real but low-priority issue for most defenders - patch in normal cadence. The one counterweight is prevalence (Chrome on Android is ubiquitous), so the aggregate exposed population is large even though per-target exploitation is low-probability and interaction-gated. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious HTML page and lures an Android Chrome user to visit it via social engineering (phishing link, malicious ad, or compromised site). When the page loads, it issues a forged cross-origin request that the ReadingList feature processes in the victim's authenticated context, bypassing web origin policy to read or modify limited data. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 09, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in the ReadingList feature of Google Chrome for Android (versions prior to 155.0.8059.39) allows a remote attacker to bypass web origin policy by social-engineering a victim into loading a crafted HTML page. Exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R) and is limited to the Android platform; no public exploit code has been identified and the EPSS score is low at 0.18% (7th percentile). Google has released a patched version (155.0.8059.39), and the issue is rated medium severity by Chromium.
RemediationAI
Update Google Chrome on Android to version 155.0.8059.39 or later via the Google Play Store; this is the vendor-released patch. Because exploitation requires user interaction and social engineering, users should exercise caution when following untrusted links or opening unsolicited HTML pages. If an immediate update is not possible, consider disabling the ReadingList feature (if a toggle exists) to eliminate the attack surface, though this reduces functionality and may not be a supported workaround. Enabling Chrome's automatic update mechanism ensures future fixes are applied promptly. Enterprise administrators should enforce version control policies to ensure Chrome on Android is up to date. Refer to the Chrome release advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_086471744.html for additional details.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a cross-site request forgery (CWE-352) in Chrome's ReadingList feature on Android. ReadingList saves pages for later reading and can be manipulated via internal endpoints; the flaw arises because these endpoints do not properly validate the origin of requests, allowing a malicious page to perform actions (such as adding, removing, or reading reading-list items) using the victim's browser context. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N indicates a network-based attack with low complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, and limited confidentiality and integrity impact-no availability impact. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is generic for Chrome, but the description and EUVD entry restrict the affected scope to the Android build. The CISA SSVC decision framework rates exploitation as none and automatable as no, consistent with the low EPSS score and the requirement for social engineering.
