Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The CVE describes an inappropriate implementation in Chrome for iOS that permits a remote attacker to carry out UI spoofing through a crafted HTML page. The flaw does not provide code execution or direct data exfiltration, but it deceives users into interacting with a counterfeit interface that appears legitimate, potentially leading to credential disclosure or the execution of unintended user actions. This environment‑specific weakness is aligned with the UI spoofing principle and is identified as CWE‑451.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome on iOS versions prior to 151.0.7922.72 are affected; all earlier releases of the iOS application contain the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 6.5, and the EPSS score is less than 1%, indicating a low probability of exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The likely attack vector is remote, requiring the victim to open a malicious web page in Chrome on iOS; no special privileges or additional foothold are necessary. The overall risk is moderate, driven mainly by the ease of crafting a malicious page rather than a high exploitation probability.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Chrome on iOS to version 151.0.7922.72 or newer.
  • If upgrading is not yet possible, avoid using Chrome for confidential or credential‑related tasks until the update is installed; consider switching to an alternative browser such as Safari.
  • Enforce device or enterprise‑level management to restrict Chrome to the minimum patched version and block unauthorized older installations.
