## Technical details

A URL spoofing vulnerability exists in Google Chrome for iOS prior to version 151.0.7922.72 due to an inappropriate implementation in the Omnibox component. By convincing a user to visit a specially crafted HTML page, a remote attacker can manipulate the address bar to display a fraudulent URL while the browser remains on the attacker-controlled site. This is a client-side attack vector that bypasses visual security indicators intended to verify the site's identity. The issue is resolved in version 151.0.7922.72.
