AI Analysis

Impact

Google Chrome for Android contains a vulnerability that can cause sensitive information to be exposed to a co‑installed application. A local attacker with control over a second app can retrieve data that should remain private to Chrome. This flaw is classified as medium severity and illustrates the risk of local information leakage inherent in poorly isolated app environments.

Affected Systems

The issue affects Google Chrome Mobile on Android devices running a version older than 155.0.8059.39. Only browsers built with the affected code prior to this patch are vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability is exploitable from the local device, requiring the attacker to install or control a second application. No exploit probability score is available, and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV. The CVSS score of 5.1, indicating medium severity, underscores the potential impact of confidential data exposure, while the absence of a publicly known exploit limits immediate risk. Updating to the patched Chrome version mitigates the principal threat.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to version 155.0.8059.39 or later on all affected devices.
  • Remove or disable any co‑installed applications that are not from trusted sources or that may misuse Chrome’s data.
  • Restrict the permissions granted to installed apps, particularly those that can read data from the device’s application data store.
  • Keep the Android operating system and all security patches up to date to reduce the attack surface for local exploits.
