Impact

The vulnerability involves UI misrepresentation in the Input component of Google Chrome prior to 156.0.8078.47. An attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can use a crafted HTML page to spoof UI elements, misleading users about the actual interface content. This flaw is a combined instance of CWE-451 and CWE-825.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome users on any version prior to 156.0.8078.47 are affected, specifically the stable channel for desktop installations.
