AI Analysis

Impact

UI misrepresentation in the Navigation component of Google Chrome on iOS prior to 156.0.8078.47 allows a remote attacker to spoof the address bar through a crafted HTML page, leveraging social engineering to deceive users into believing they are on a trusted site. This can lead to credential or sensitive information disclosure. The weakness is classified as CWE‑451.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome on iOS, specifically versions earlier than 156.0.8078.47.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a high severity vulnerability, but the EPSS score of < 1% suggests a low exploitation probability. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, yet the high CVSS remains a concern. The attack vector is remote; a malicious web page can be served by an attacker and, by exploiting the UI misrepresentation, trick the user into interacting with the spoofed address bar. Successful exploitation would lead primarily to phishing or credential compromise rather than code execution or catastrophic crash.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome on iOS to version 156.0.8078.47 or newer.
  • If an upgrade cannot be applied immediately, disable or restrict navigation features that load WebAssembly or HTML pages from untrusted sources.
  • Monitor Chrome release notes and keep the browser updated, reviewing future advisories for additional mitigations.
