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 confidenceA race condition in the Geolocation API in Google Chrome on Android prior to version 149.0.7827.53 allows a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability exploits timing between geolocation permission requests to bypass same-origin policy protections.

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.
-
Confirm Google Chrome on Android is in useOpen the browser and navigate to chrome://version, or check the app info in Settings > Apps > Chrome on the Android device. Verify the application name is 'Chrome' and the platform is Android.Affected if The browser is Google Chrome running on the Android operating system.
-
Locate the Chrome version numberOn the chrome://version page, find the line labeled 'Chrome'. The version appears as a numeric string (for example, 148.0.7825.100). Alternatively, check the version in the Google Play Store app listing for Chrome or in Android Settings > Apps > Chrome > App info.Affected if The version cannot be determined or the browser is not Google Chrome.
-
Compare installed version to the affected rangeTake the version number found in the previous step and compare it numerically to 149.0.7827.53. Note that version comparison must be done carefully (149.0.7827.53 is the first fixed version).Affected if The installed version is less than 149.0.7827.53 (for example, 148.0.7825.100 or 149.0.7827.50).
-
Verify geolocation API is accessibleWhile not required for the vulnerability to exist, confirm that websites can request geolocation access. Visit any site that requests location permissions and observe whether the permission prompt appears. This indicates the geolocation API is active in the browser.Affected if The geolocation API is functional in the browser, which means the vulnerable code path could be triggered.
A user is affected if Google Chrome on Android is installed with a version number lower than 149.0.7827.53 and the browser supports geolocation API functionality.
