Technical details

An insufficient policy enforcement vulnerability exists in Google Chrome for iOS prior to version 151.0.7922.72. The flaw resides in the handling of the 'no-referrer' policy, which is intended to prevent the browser from sending the Referer header to destination sites. A remote attacker can exploit this by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted HTML page, allowing the attacker to bypass this privacy policy and leak referrer information. This is classified by Chromium as a Low severity issue. Users should update to version 151.0.7922.72 or later to mitigate this risk.
