Security UI obfuscation via crafted HTML
Published Sep 12, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Inappropriate implementation in Google Chrome on Android before 117.0.5938.62 allows remote attackers to obfuscate security UI. Google identifies the locus as Android Intent handling but has not published the incorrect operation performed on page-controlled input. A user must open a crafted HTML page; the documented consequence is misleading security UI, not code execution or service interruption.
