AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerable condition is an inappropriate implementation in the Session component of Google Chrome for Android that allows a remote attacker to bypass the browser’s navigation restrictions when a crafted HTML page is loaded. This flaw is an access control weakness, reported as CWE‑284, and can enable an attacker to redirect the user to unintended destinations without the user’s consent, thereby compromising the integrity of the browsing experience.

Affected Systems

All Android installations of Google Chrome prior to version 151.0.7922.72 are affected. These versions lack the fix that enforces navigation restrictions, making them vulnerable until the browser is updated.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 places the issue in the low‑risk category, and the EPSS score of less than 1 % indicates that exploitation attempts are unlikely but not impossible. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The most probable attack vector is a remote attacker serving a crafted HTML page that a user opens in Chrome, such as through a malicious website. No local privileges or additional conditions are required beyond visiting the malicious content.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Android Chrome to version 151.0.7922.72 or newer.
  • If automatic updates are disabled, enable them or install the latest stable channel manually.
  • Configure Chrome’s Safe Browsing or use managed policy settings to block navigation to unknown or untrusted sites, thereby reducing the chance that a crafted page can redirect the user.
