Google Chrome before 41.0.2272.76, when Instant Extended mode is used, does not properly consider the interaction between the "1993 search" features and restore-from-disk RELOAD transitions, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof the address bar for a search-results page by leveraging (1) a compromised search engine or (2) an XSS vulnerability in a search engine, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-1231.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Google Chrome address-bar spoofing issue. In affected Chrome versions, a malicious or compromised search-results context could make the browser show a misleading address bar, increasing phishing and credential-theft risk. It is not described as remote code execution, and the provided sources do not show active exploitation. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running Chrome before 41.0.2272.76 with the affected Instant Extended behavior. Modern managed Chrome deployments should generally be outside scope if they are patched and supported. Treat this as a legacy-browser risk rather than a current emergency. The main business concern is phishing through trusted-looking browser UI on obsolete endpoints. Prioritize removal of outdated Chrome versions. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Chrome installations to 41.0.2272.76 or later.; Retire unsupported Chrome versions from managed and unmanaged endpoints.; Check Google Chrome release guidance before relying on compensating controls..
