Technical details
A UI spoofing vulnerability exists in the Accessibility component of Google Chrome for Android.

A remote attacker can exploit this by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted HTML page, allowing the attacker to overlay or manipulate the browser's user interface. This can lead to phishing attacks or unauthorized user actions. The issue is resolved in version 149.0.7827.53.
