Omnibox spoofing via unvalidated renderer input
Published Jul 30, 2026 · Updated Jul 30, 2026
Improper input validation in Google Chrome for Android before 151.0.7922.72 allows remote attackers to spoof the Omnibox via HTML. The Mobile component insufficiently validates untrusted input from a compromised renderer before using it to set Omnibox contents; Google has not disclosed the exact field or check. Exploitation requires user interaction with crafted HTML and prior renderer compromise, and the reported consequence is deceptive URL-bar content rather than code execution.
