CVE-2022-0455Network attack vector

Omnibox spoofing via fullscreen rendering confusion

Published Apr 5, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

UI spoofing in Full Screen Mode in Google Chrome for Android before 98.0.4758.80 allows remote attackers to falsify the Omnibox via HTML. The public record identifies an inappropriate fullscreen implementation but does not disclose the code path or operation that mishandles page-controlled rendering. Exploitation requires user interaction with a crafted HTML page that reaches fullscreen mode; the bounded result is deceptive URL-bar content, not code execution.
