AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to collect sensitive information originating from the Omnibox in Google Chrome on Android. It is based on information exposure (CWE-200). The attacker can trigger the leak by sending specially crafted network traffic, thereby exposing private search queries or user input and potentially compromising confidentiality and privacy.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome on Android, versions earlier than 155.0.8059.39, i.e., any release prior to that revision, are potentially affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score indicates a medium severity (score 6.5). An EPSS score of 0.002 (less than 1%) indicates a very low but non‑zero exploitation probability, so the risk of exploitation may be uncommonly low. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but it is remotely exploitable via crafted network traffic and can lead to information disclosure. The likely attack vector is a remote attacker leveraging crafted network traffic, which is inferred from the description that the attacker may need to employ social engineering to get the end user to load the malicious traffic. An attacker would also need to deliver the crafted traffic, for example by compromising a server or using a malicious Wi‑Fi network, to exploit the flaw.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Chrome to version 155.0.8059.39 or later on all Android devices.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, disable Omnibox search suggestions or conduct sensitive searches in incognito mode to reduce exposure.
  • Monitor network traffic for unusual patterns that could indicate exploitation attempts and consider blocking suspicious domains at the network level.
