AI Analysis

Impact

Insufficient input validation in Chrome's passwords handling allowed a remote attacker to perform UI spoofing via malicious network traffic. The attacker can trick users into interacting with forged credential prompts, potentially leading to credential theft or phishing. The vulnerability is associated with CWE‑20, CWE‑290, and CWE‑451.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome versions prior to 151.0.7922.72, especially on the stable channel, are affected. Users of older branches or custom builds that have not applied the 151.0.7922.72 update may also be vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 4.3, indicating low overall severity. The EPSS score is below 1 %, suggesting a very low probability of exploitation in the wild, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote via network traffic, with a straightforward path for attackers to deliver the spoofing content. The potential impact is limited to user deception and credential compromise, but the low exploitation likelihood reduces the immediate risk.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Google Chrome to 151.0.7922.72 or newer to receive the input‑validation fix.
  • Enable Chrome’s Safe Browsing feature to block known malicious sites that might deliver spoofed UI elements.
  • Configure network‑level filtering or a web proxy to inspect and block anomalous traffic that could serve spoofed UI data.
