CVE-2026-13887
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 · uneditedInappropriate implementation in NFC in Google Chrome on Android prior to 150.0.7871.47 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to leak cross-origin data 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 · high confidenceThis is a cross-origin data leak vulnerability in the NFC (Near Field Communication) implementation of Google Chrome on Android. A remote attacker who has already compromised the renderer process can exploit inappropriate access controls in the NFC API to leak data from other origins via a crafted HTML page. The attack requires prior renderer compromise, making it a secondary exploitation scenario.

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.
-
Identify the browser and platformCheck if Google Chrome is running on an Android device. On the Android device, go to Settings > Apps > Chrome, or open chrome://version to see the browser details.Affected if The device is NOT running Google Chrome on Android - the vulnerability only affects Chrome on Android, not other browsers or platforms.
-
Determine the installed Chrome versionOpen Chrome, tap the three-dot menu, go to Settings > About Chrome, or navigate to chrome://version. Note the version number shown (e.g., 150.0.7871.0).Affected if The installed version is less than 150.0.7871.47. Versions from 150.0.7871.47 onward include the security patch.
-
Verify if NFC is enabledOn the Android device, go to Settings > Connected devices > NFC (or Settings > Network & Internet > NFC on some versions). Check if NFC is turned on.Affected if NFC is enabled - the vulnerability exploits the NFC API, so NFC must be active for the data leak to occur through this attack vector.
-
Assess renderer compromise riskReview the device for signs of compromise: unexpected apps, unusual battery drain, suspicious network connections, or if the device has been jailbroken/rooted without the user's knowledge.Affected if The renderer process has been compromised - this is a prerequisite for the attack. The vulnerability allows a compromised renderer to leak cross-origin data via NFC.
A user is affected if they are running Google Chrome on Android with version < 150.0.7871.47, NFC is enabled, and the renderer process has been compromised - all three conditions must be present for the cross-origin data leak to be exploitable.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped150.0.7871.47
Update Google Chrome on Android to version 150.0.7871.47 or later to patch the NFC implementation. Organizations should ensure mobile devices are running current Chrome versions.
Chrome 150.0.7871.47 or later for Android
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Search for "Google Chrome" or "Chrome"
- Tap "Update" if an update is available, or verify the app is set to auto-update
- Alternatively, go to Chrome Settings > About Chrome and tap "Update Chrome"
- Verify the Chrome version is 150.0.7871.47 or later in chrome://version
