Impact

An inappropriate implementation of the WebView component in Google Chrome on Android allows a remote attacker to present spoofed user interface elements through a crafted HTML page, potentially luring users into performing unintended actions. The weakness corresponds to input validation failures and unvalidated output handling, aligning with CWE‑1021 and CWE‑451.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome on Android versions earlier than 151.0.7922.72 are affected. Users running older Chrome releases that utilize the WebView component should be aware of this vulnerability.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates a moderate risk level, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low exploitation probability at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote, requiring a victim to visit a malicious web page that exploits the WebView rendering path; exploitation requires user interaction with the spoofed UI and is not yet linked to publicly available tools.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Google Chrome on Android to version 151.0.7922.72 or later to receive the WebView UI‑spoofing fix.
  • If an update is not immediately feasible, disable or remove any WebView instances that load untrusted content from external sites.
  • Apply strict input validation and output sanitization to any dynamic HTML rendered in WebView to prevent injected elements from altering the intended layout or actions.
