| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to have ALREADY compromised the Chrome renderer process on the target Android device (per the description) - this is the primary gating precondition and is not a default state. It additionally requires the victim to interact with a crafted HTML page (UI:R), and it is specific to Chrome on Android versions prior to 155.0.8059.39; desktop and other platforms are out of scope per the description. The bug lies in the WebShare feature's authorization handling (CWE-863). Limiting factors: no separate login/authentication is needed (PR:N), but the compromised-renderer requirement plus mandatory user interaction make unassisted, widespread exploitation impractical, consistent with SSVC Exploitation 'none' and Automatable 'no'. The outcome is limited to UI/element spoofing, not code execution or data exfiltration. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely low-priority issue despite the medium Chromium label. The CVSS base score of 4.2 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L) reflects limited impact, and the single most important qualifier is baked into the description: exploitation requires an attacker who has ALREADY compromised the renderer process. That precondition is why AC is High and why this is realistically a sandbox-escape-adjacent polish bug rather than a primary attack vector - an attacker who controls the renderer must first have obtained that foothold through a separate, more serious vulnerability. All exploitation signals point the same direction: SSVC rates Exploitation as 'none', Automatable 'no', and Technical Impact only 'partial'; there is no EPSS score supplied; KEV status is not listed (no active exploitation); and no POC is referenced. Accordingly: no public exploit identified at time of analysis. One tension worth flagging: the CVSS vector encodes PR:N (unauthenticated), but the description's requirement of a compromised renderer is a substantial real-world prerequisite that the base vector does not capture - Chrome conventionally scores post-renderer-compromise bugs as PR:N because no application-level credentials are needed, but defenders should read PR:N as 'no login required' and NOT as 'trivially remote against a healthy browser.' The practical outcome is UI spoofing (deception), not code execution or data theft. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker first compromises the Chrome renderer process on an Android device via a separate vulnerability, then serves a crafted HTML page that abuses the WebShare API's incorrect authorization to spoof trusted UI elements (e.g., share-sheet or origin indicators) and trick the user. The deception requires user interaction (UI:R) to be effective, and no public exploit code is currently identified; the realistic goal is phishing/social-engineering rather than direct system compromise. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 07, 2026
UI spoofing in Google Chrome on Android (versions prior to 155.0.8059.39) stems from incorrect authorization handling in the WebShare feature and allows a remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process to spoof UI elements via a crafted HTML page that the victim must interact with. The assessed impact is limited to integrity spoofing (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N), with no confidentiality or availability impact, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Exploitation is gated by the non-default prerequisite of a compromised renderer plus required user interaction, making this a low-priority issue despite the medium Chromium severity label.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Google Chrome on Android to 155.0.8059.39 or later via Google Play; see the Chrome Releases advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_086471744.html. No public exploit is identified, and exploitation requires a pre-existing renderer compromise plus victim interaction with a crafted HTML page, so patching can be prioritized as low risk. If immediate update is not possible, reduce exposure by hardening against renderer compromise (keep Chrome and Android System WebView updated, avoid untrusted HTML content) and, where enterprise policy allows, consider disabling Web Share or related UI features until the update is applied; the trade-off is loss of sharing functionality. The underlying Chromium bug is at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/522325665.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) in Chrome's WebShare implementation on Android means an authorization check for UI-related operations is missing or applied incorrectly. WebShare is the browser component that mediates the system share sheet and related UI on Android. When a renderer process is already compromised, the flaw lets that renderer cause the browser to display spoofed UI elements via an attacker-supplied HTML page, which requires user interaction. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* reflects Chrome broadly, but the description scopes the issue to Chrome on Android prior to 155.0.8059.39. The independent assessment rates integrity impact low only, no confidentiality or availability impact, consistent with UI spoofing rather than code execution or data theft. SSVC records Exploitation: none, Automatable: no, and Technical Impact: partial, reinforcing that unassisted widespread exploitation is impractical.
