Navigation restriction bypass via crafted HTML
Published May 6, 2026 · Updated May 6, 2026
Insufficient input validation in Google Chrome for Android before 148.0.7778.96 allows remote attackers to bypass navigation restrictions. Google identifies the affected locus only as DevTools; the restricted issue does not disclose which input crosses a navigation boundary or how validation fails. A victim must open a crafted HTML page, and the published impact is limited to bypassing navigation restrictions rather than code execution or service interruption.
