Impact

A UI misrepresentation flaw in Google Chrome on Android allows a remote attacker to craft an HTML page that spooks the browser into rendering false UI elements, potentially deceiving the user into believing that a legitimate interface is present. The visual misrepresentation, flagged as CWE‑451, means that the user interface can be manipulated without the user’s knowledge, enabling phishing or other deceptive attacks.

Affected Systems

Android devices running Google Chrome versions earlier than 155.0.8059.39 are affected. The vulnerability is confined to Android builds of Chrome as stated; no mention of other operating systems is provided.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates moderate risk. Exploitation requires a remote attacker to deliver a malicious web page to a user’s Android device, implying a network-based attack vector. The EPSS value is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting that exploitation rates are unconfirmed, yet the potential for UI-based deception warrants prompt remediation.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Chrome on the Android device to version 155.0.8059.39 or later, which contains the remediation for this UI spoofing flaw.
  • If an update cannot be applied immediately, configure device or network controls to block or restrict the loading of untrusted or externally provided web content that could trigger the issue.
  • Enable any available enterprise or policy settings that disable advanced UI rendering features or enforce stricter content validation while the device remains on a vulnerable Chrome build.
