Impact
The vulnerability stems from incorrect authorization within Chrome's navigation handling on iOS. A remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can exploit a crafted HTML page, potentially executing arbitrary code outside the browser sandbox. The flaw is rated high severity with a CVSS score of 8.3.
Affected Systems
Google Chrome for iOS versions prior to 154.0.8037.57 are affected. The issue is confined to the iOS platform; desktop and other mobile versions are not impacted.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 8.3 indicates significant risk. The EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, suggesting limited evidence of active exploitation. Exploitation requires a local compromise of the renderer process by delivering a malicious HTML payload; the attacker must already control the renderer before breaching the sandbox.
