Analysis

Impact

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in the Chrome user interface on Android allows a local attacker to craft a malicious file that, when opened by Chrome, escalates the attacker’s privileges on the device. This input-validation weakness (CWE-20) permits malformed UI data to be processed without adequate checks, enabling Chrome to perform actions with elevated privileges.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome for Android, versions prior to 150.0.7871.47. Users running any of those builds are exposed, as the flaw is confined to the UI component that processes file inputs.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.8, indicating high severity, while its EPSS score of <1% is unlikely at present. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is local; a local attacker who can drop a crafted file onto the device and cause Chrome’s UI to process that file can trigger the attack, which requires only local access and does not rely on remote execution.

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

Apply the latest Chrome update (150.0.7871.47 or later) to fix the input-validation flaw (CWE-20).
Restrict Chrome's file access in Android settings to block unknown sources and limit the attack surface for the CWE-20 vulnerability.
Avoid opening unknown or suspicious files with Chrome, and consider removing or disabling file handling for untrusted apps if possible.
