Technical details
An improper input validation vulnerability (CWE-20) exists in the WebView component of Google Chrome for Android. The flaw stems from insufficient validation of untrusted input, which can be exploited by a remote attacker who has already achieved a compromise of the renderer process. By enticing a user to visit a specially crafted HTML page, the attacker can bypass cross-origin boundaries to leak sensitive data from other origins. This vulnerability is addressed in version 151.0.7922.72 and later.
