Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Google Chrome is installed on the Android deviceNavigate to Settings > Apps on the Android device and look for Google Chrome in the app list, or check the app drawer for the Chrome iconAffected if Chrome is not installed on the device (not affected)
-
Determine the installed Chrome versionOpen Google Chrome, tap the three-dot menu, go to Settings > About Chrome. The version number is displayed at the top of the screenAffected if Version number cannot be retrieved or Chrome is not present
-
Compare the installed version against the affected rangeCompare the version shown in About Chrome to the affected version 135.0.7049.52. Chrome versions follow format like 135.0.7049.xAffected if Installed version is less than 135.0.7049.52 (for example, 135.0.7049.42 or any 134.x.x version)
-
Check for third-party apps with Custom Tabs permissionOn Android, go to Settings > Apps > chrome and review which apps are listed as having permission to open content in Chrome (this indicates Custom Tab usage)Affected if Many untrusted third-party apps are present with Chrome integration permissions, combined with a vulnerable Chrome version
The device is affected if Google Chrome for Android is installed with a version lower than 135.0.7049.52, regardless of Custom Tabs usage since the feature is built into Chrome.
