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 the attacker to have ALREADY compromised Chrome's renderer process on Android (the description states this as a precondition); from that foothold the attacker uses a crafted HTML page to bypass site isolation and reach the Passwords component via the missing authorization check. Limiting factors: this is a second-stage/chained vulnerability - it cannot be triggered by an unprivileged remote attacker without first achieving renderer code execution; user interaction is required (UI:R, loading the crafted page); and it is specific to Google Chrome on Android prior to 155.0.8059.39. These factors substantially lower realistic risk relative to the 8.1 base score. |
| Impact | Signals point consistently toward a LOW real-world priority despite the 8.1 'High' CVSS base score. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) drives the high number via network vector and high confidentiality/integrity impact, but this understates a critical precondition stated in the description: the attacker must have ALREADY compromised the renderer process. This is a second-stage sandbox/site-isolation escape, not a standalone remote exploit - the PR:N metric is therefore misleading because meaningful attacker capability (renderer code execution) is a prerequisite not captured in the vector. CVSS AV:N but description implies the bug is only reachable from an already-compromised renderer - verify exploitation context with vendor. Supporting signals align with low urgency: EPSS is 0.21% (11th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and SSVC reports Exploitation=none and Automatable=no (only Technical Impact=total is elevated, consistent with full password disclosure once chained). No public exploit code is identified. Chromium itself rated this only Medium severity, which better reflects the chained/second-stage nature than the 8.1 base score. Net: a legitimate security fix to deploy via normal Chrome auto-update, but not an emergency given no exploitation evidence and a high capability bar. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has already achieved code execution in Chrome's renderer process on an Android device (e.g., via a separate renderer RCE bug) serves a crafted HTML page that abuses the missing authorization check to bypass site isolation. This lets the compromised renderer reach password data it should be partitioned from, enabling theft of stored credentials. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the attack requires chaining with a prior renderer compromise (UI:R, AC:L). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 07, 2026
Site isolation bypass in Google Chrome on Android (prior to 155.0.8059.39) allows an attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to reach the browser's Passwords component via a crafted HTML page and a missing authorization check, exposing stored credential data. The bug is a chained, second-stage issue: it cannot be triggered by an unprivileged remote attacker without pre-existing renderer code execution, and it requires user interaction to load the crafted page, which is why the assessed vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/C:H/I:N/A:N) makes realistic risk LOW despite the 8.1 base score. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, EPSS is only 0.21% (11th percentile), CISA SSVC records Exploitation: none, and Google rated the Chromium security severity Medium, so this is a routine patch-cycle fix rather than an emergency.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: Chrome 155.0.8059.39 (and later) fixes this issue as part of the October 2026 stable channel update (https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_086471744.html). On Android, update Chrome through Google Play or trigger an in-app update, restart the browser, and confirm the build via chrome://version; enterprise fleets can enforce a minimum version through managed Google Play / app minimum-version policies to avoid staged-rollout lag. If patching is delayed, note that this is only exploitable after a renderer compromise, so the practical compensating controls are keeping site isolation enabled (never disable it as a workaround, since it is the boundary being bypassed) and reducing credential exposure by not relying on Chrome's built-in password manager for high-value accounts until the update is applied, migrating them to a standalone manager instead; the trade-off is added user friction and management overhead, while disabling password saving outright reduces usability. Because exploitation requires pre-existing renderer code execution, watch for renderer exploit activity or unusual IPC to password services and treat alerts as evidence of an existing chain rather than this CVE alone. With EPSS at 0.21% (11th percentile) and SSVC Exploitation: none, prioritize this in the normal monthly patch cycle rather than as an emergency.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Chrome's security model depends on site isolation and process separation: web content runs in a sandboxed renderer that is treated as untrusted, while privileged functionality such as the Passwords component (Google Password Manager) executes in the browser process and should only be reachable through authorized IPC. CVE-2026-106205 is rooted in CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning a privileged password-related operation lacked the authorization check that would normally validate the caller, so a renderer that is already compromised can induce that operation and cross the site isolation boundary it is supposed to respect. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is a wildcard covering Chrome builds generally, so platform scoping comes from the advisory text, which is specific to Chrome on Android before 155.0.8059.39; the fix shipped in the Chrome stable channel update referenced at chromereleases.googleblog.com (Chromium issue 519499907, EUVD-2026-93739). Its practical relevance is as a post-exploitation chain link rather than standalone remote code execution.

Missing authorization in Passwords in Google Chrome on on Android prior to 155.0.8059.39 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to bypass site isolation via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
Executive ViewAI
Google Chrome on Android versions prior to 155.0.8059.39 contains a high-severity site isolation bypass that could expose stored credentials, but only if an attacker has already achieved renderer code execution. This means exploitation requires an existing compromise and user interaction, making the realistic risk low; however, for organizations with sensitive credentials stored in Chrome on Android devices, applying the available patch is still a prudent security measure. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and Vendor-released patch: 155.0.8059.39 is available.
