| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the victim running Chrome on Android (versions prior to 155.0.8059.39) to actively navigate to an attacker-crafted HTML page (UI:R) - it cannot be triggered against a passive or idle browser. No authentication is required (PR:N, unauthenticated) and no special Chrome configuration is needed since the defect is in default UI rendering, but the attacker gains no code execution or direct data read: the sole effect is visually misrepresenting UI elements to deceive the user, so realized harm depends on the user being successfully tricked (e.g., into trusting a spoofed origin for phishing). The Android-only scope limits exposure on desktop Chrome. |
| Impact | This is a Medium-severity UI misrepresentation (UI spoofing, CWE-451) flaw in Google Chrome on Android, and the signals converge on a genuinely low-to-moderate priority. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L, 5.4) shows network reach and no privileges, but exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R) - the victim must visit the attacker's crafted HTML page - and impact is limited (C:L/I:N/A:L, unchanged scope). CISA SSVC reinforces low urgency: Exploitation=none, Automatable=no, Technical Impact=partial. There is no KEV listing and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so this is not confirmed to be actively exploited. No EPSS score was provided in the input, which is a data gap, but every available signal (SSVC exploitation=none, no KEV, no POC, spoofing-only impact) points to a low real-world exploitation likelihood. One minor inconsistency worth noting: the vendor vector assigns A:L (limited availability impact), which is unusual for a pure UI-spoofing issue where the primary consequence is deceiving the user rather than degrading availability - verify the availability rationale with the vendor advisory. Net: a real but low-priority defect best handled via routine Chrome auto-update rather than emergency patching. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker crafts a malicious HTML page and lures an Android Chrome user to visit it (via link, ad, or compromised site); the page manipulates browser UI elements - such as the address bar, security indicators, or dialog overlays - to misrepresent the page's true origin. The victim, believing they are on a trusted site, is primed for phishing or credential capture. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and the attack requires the user to navigate to the attacker-controlled page (UI:R). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 06, 2026
UI spoofing in Google Chrome on Android (versions prior to 155.0.8059.39) lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker misrepresent browser UI elements by luring a victim to a crafted HTML page, which can be used to make spoofed origins or prompts look trustworthy. Exploitation requires the user to actively navigate to the attacker-controlled page (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N), and the resulting harm is limited to user deception rather than code execution or direct data theft. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA's SSVC decision framework rates exploitation as 'none' with low automability, consistent with the low-to-moderate EPSS-style risk profile of a Medium-severity Chromium UI bug.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Google Chrome on Android to 155.0.8059.39 or later, which is the vendor-released patch; deployments should confirm the installed version in Settings > About Chrome and force the update through Google Play or managed Play policy, since Chrome releases this fix through the stable channel. The advisory is at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_086471744.html and the engineering record at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/553145497. Because exploitation depends on a user visiting an attacker page and being deceived by spoofed UI, short-term compensating controls on unpatched devices are limited to reducing that exposure: restrict browsing on managed Android devices to an allowlisted set of domains via Chrome Enterprise policies or an MDM browser profile (trade-off: breaks general web access and is impractical for BYOD), enforce phishing-resistant authentication and hardware-backed FIDO2/WebAuthn factors so that a spoofed origin cannot harvest reusable credentials (trade-off: requires IdP and token rollout), enable Enhanced Safe Browsing to raise warning coverage (trade-off: sends more browsing telemetry to Google), and brief users that visual origin cues in the mobile address bar should not be trusted for sensitive actions. Disabling JavaScript is not a reliable mitigation here, as the defect is in browser UI rendering rather than script-driven content, and it would break most sites while providing uncertain benefit.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is classified as CWE-451 (User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information), a class of defect in which the browser renders trusted chrome - address bar, security indicators, dialogs, or other trusted surfaces - in a way that does not faithfully represent the underlying page state. In Chromium, these trusted surfaces are rendered by the browser process and the compositor, separate from untrusted web content; a defect here means crafted HTML can influence what the user perceives about origin or context. The issue is scoped to Chrome on Android (CPE cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), so desktop Chrome and other Chromium-derived browsers are not described as affected by this advisory. Chromium security severity is Medium, and the reported vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N confirms the attacker needs no credentials or privileges but must convince the victim to visit the page; the unchanged scope (S:U) indicates the misrepresentation does not let the attacker escape the browser's security boundary or reach code execution.
