Technical details

An inappropriate implementation in the Omnibox (URL bar) component of Google Chrome for iOS allowed a remote attacker to spoof the displayed URL. By delivering malicious network traffic or leveraging specific page transitions, an attacker could cause the browser to display a legitimate domain name while the user is actually viewing attacker-controlled content. This is a UI spoofing vulnerability that bypasses the user's ability to verify the authenticity of a website. The issue is resolved in version 151.0.7922.72.
