Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the victim to actively visit an attacker-crafted HTML page in Google Chrome for Android on a version prior to 155.0.8059.39 (UI:R confirmed in the CVSS vector), so social engineering to deliver and open the malicious page is the primary prerequisite. No authentication or special privileges are needed (PR:N), and no non-default configuration is indicated - the flaw lies in default Omnibox input handling. The key limiting factors are the mandatory user interaction, the Android-only scope, and the bounded impact (web origin policy bypass with only partial confidentiality/integrity exposure, no availability impact).

Impact

This is a moderate-severity, low-priority issue rather than an urgent threat. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N, base 5.4) indicates remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity reach but is gated by required user interaction and yields only LOW confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability impact - consistent with a same-origin/web-origin policy bypass rather than code execution. EPSS is low at 0.18% (7th percentile), and the CVE is NOT on CISA KEV, with no public exploit identified, so all exploitation signals point to low real-world risk. The signals are coherent and non-conflicting: a high-footprint product (Chrome) but a bounded-impact flaw requiring social engineering. One nuance to verify: the input Tag labels this an 'Authentication Bypass,' but the description describes a web origin policy (same-origin) bypass - these are distinct classes, so treat the auth-bypass framing with caution. Chromium itself rated the underlying bug 'High,' which reflects browser-security severity, not the lower CVSS-derived operational risk.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker uses social engineering (e.g., a phishing link or malicious ad) to lure an Android Chrome user to a crafted HTML page. The page abuses improper input validation in the Omnibox (address bar) to bypass the web origin policy, letting attacker-controlled content read or influence data that should be isolated to another origin. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 11, 2026

Improper input validation in the Omnibox of Google Chrome for Android prior to 155.0.8059.39 lets a remote attacker bypass web origin policy using a crafted HTML page, a weakness rated High by Chromium's security team but only Moderate (CVSS 5.4) under the generalized rubric. The attack is unauthenticated (PR:N) but requires the victim to be socially engineered into opening the malicious page (UI:R), and the resulting impact is bounded to partial confidentiality and integrity exposure with no availability loss. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, EPSS is low at roughly 0.18% (7th percentile), and there is no CISA KEV listing; exploitation is limited to Android builds below 155.0.8059.39 and a vendor patch is available.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Chrome for Android 155.0.8059.39 or later. Update through Google Play (or the applicable distribution channel) to 155.0.8059.39 and confirm the installed version in Chrome's Settings > About Chrome, since the bug is absent from that build onward per the stable channel advisory at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_086471744.html and the tracking issue at https://issues.chromium.org/issues/552423127. There is no configuration flag or server-side workaround that removes this client-side Omnibox flaw, so organizations should treat version enforcement as the primary control. Compensating measures carry trade-offs: forcing Chrome for Android updates via managed Google Play or an EMM policy closes the window but may break users on unmanaged, sideloaded, or outdated-OS devices that cannot install 155.0.8059.39; restricting Android Chrome access to sensitive internal web properties through conditional access, per-app VPN, or a managed-browser requirement reduces exposure but degrades mobile usability and can break ordinary browsing flows; and user awareness of social-engineering lures (the confirmed UI:R prerequisite) lowers the chance of a victim opening a crafted page but is not a technical control. Chrome's release cadence means the patched build should be reachable quickly, so prioritization should follow the moderate EPSS (0.18%, 7th percentile) and the absence of confirmed active exploitation rather than emergency response.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability sits in Chrome's Omnibox - the combined address and search bar that parses user text, resolves typed or navigated URLs, and hands results to the navigation stack - on the Android platform. The root cause is classified as CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): crafted input reaching the Omnibox is not correctly validated before it influences navigation and origin assignment, allowing an origin policy check to be bypassed. Because origin policy is the browser's core isolation boundary (determining which document may read or write data belonging to which site), a bypass can let attacker-controlled content interact with or influence data associated with a different origin. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:google:chrome:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is unbounded, so scoping must come from the vendor advisory and the EUVD record, which pin the vulnerable range to Android builds before 155.0.8059.39. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N shows scope is unchanged - the flaw does not cross a privileged security boundary in the rubric's terms - with only low confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact, which is why the score stays at 5.4 despite the High Chromium severity label.
