Specifically, it is a use-after-free vulnerability within the Permissions component of the browser. The vulnerability exists in versions of Chrome for Android prior to 147.0.7727.101. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw by crafting a malicious HTML page and convincing a user to interact with it using specific UI gestures. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the Chrome browser on the targeted Android device, potentially leading to complete device compromise. The vulnerability was reported in April 2026.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker crafts a malicious HTML page designed to trigger the use-after-free condition in the Permissions component.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker hosts the crafted HTML page on a web server.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker convinces a user to visit the malicious page, likely through social engineering or other means.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe user interacts with the page, performing specific UI gestures as manipulated by the attacker's code.
