Sensitive data disclosure via incorrect reference resolution
Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 19, 2026
Information disclosure in Google Chrome before 151.0.7922.169 on Android allows remote attackers to read sensitive data via crafted HTML pages. Public sources identify the flaw only as incorrect reference resolution in the Core component; Google has not disclosed which reference is misresolved or what resource boundary the lookup crosses. Exploitation requires social engineering to make a target open attacker-controlled HTML content, and the published impact is limited to confidentiality loss rather than code execution or service interruption.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
