CVE-2026-121067 Details
Description
UI misrepresentation in PermissionElement in Google Chrome prior to 157.0.8103.38 allowed a remote attacker leveraging social engineering to spoof UI elements via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)
A UI misrepresentation vulnerability has been identified in Google Chrome versions prior to 157.0.8103.38. This issue allows remote attackers to spoof UI elements through social engineering, by leveraging a crafted HTML page. The vulnerability arises from the `<geolocation>`, `<camera>`, `<microphone>`, and `<usermedia>` permission elements, which can be activated via keyboard inputs, such as access keys or the Tab key followed by Enter. The root cause lies in how these elements handle visibility checks, particularly when an ancestor element is transformed to appear empty, thereby bypassing normal activation restrictions.
Users should update to Google Chrome version 157.0.8103.38 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
