Impact

An inappropriate implementation in Chrome for iOS allowed a remote attacker, by convincing a user to perform specific UI gestures, to leak cross‑origin data through a crafted HTML page. The flaw is a broken access control weakness (CWE‑346) that results in information disclosure rather than execution of arbitrary code or denial of service.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Google Chrome for iOS, specifically any version prior to 151.0.7922.72. No alternative vendors or products are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 3.1 indicates low severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% reflects a very low but non‑zero likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not present in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires user interaction—an attacker must first lure the user to a crafted page and force specific gestures—making the attack vector phishing or social‑engineering rather than a purely remote or network‑based vector.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Chrome on all iOS devices to version 151.0.7922.72 or later. This patch resolves the broken access control that permitted cross‑origin data leakage.
  • Educate users to avoid engaging with unfamiliar web pages that request unusual gesture interactions, especially those that cannot be verified as legitimate.
  • If supported by device management, apply a policy or content setting to restrict or block cross‑origin data sharing from untrusted sites, thereby reducing the potential impact of similar flaws.
