Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Inappropriate implementation in Intents in Google Chrome on Android prior to 135.0.7049.52 allowed a remote attacker to perform privilege escalation via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This vulnerability in Google Chrome on Android stems from an inappropriate implementation of Android Intents, which are the message-passing mechanism for Android components. A remote attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious HTML page that triggers privileged Android intents, potentially elevating the attacker's capabilities beyond what a web page should normally have access to.

MitigationUpdate Google Chrome on Android to version 135.0.7049.52 or later. Organizations should use MDM solutions to verify and enforce Chrome updates across managed devices.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Chrome on Android
    Check if Google Chrome is installed on an Android device. This vulnerability only affects the Chrome browser when running on Android operating systems, not on desktop platforms.
    Affected if Chrome browser is installed and running on an Android device or emulator.
  2. Determine Chrome version on Android
    Open Chrome on the Android device, navigate to chrome://version, or go to Settings > Apps > Chrome to view the installed version number.
    Affected if Unable to determine version or version information is not displayed.
  3. Compare against affected version range
    Review the version number found in the previous step. Compare it numerically to the affected range: any version less than 135.0.7049.52 is vulnerable.
    Affected if The installed Chrome version on Android is 134.x.x.x or lower, or any version number less than 135.0.7049.52.
  4. Verify Chrome update availability
    On the Android device, open the Google Play Store app, search for Google Chrome, and check if an update is available or if the installed version matches the fixed release.
    Affected if Play Store shows an update is available, indicating the current version is older than the latest release.

A user is affected if Google Chrome is running on an Android device and the installed version is lower than 135.0.7049.52.
