The content renderer client in Google Chrome prior to 54.0.2840.85 for Android insufficiently enforced the Same Origin Policy amongst downloaded files, which allowed a remote attacker to access any downloaded file and interact with sites, including those the user was logged into, via a crafted HTML page.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affected Chrome for Android before 54.0.2840.85. A malicious HTML page could bypass Same Origin Policy protections around downloaded files, potentially reading downloaded content and acting against websites where the user was already signed in. Exposure is limited to Android devices running Google Chrome versions earlier than 54.0.2840.85. Current managed fleets are unlikely to be affected unless they include obsolete Android devices, frozen browser builds, or unsupported embedded Android environments. Treat this as a legacy mobile exposure issue. It is serious where old Android Chrome remains in use, but urgency depends on whether the environment still has affected versions. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome for Android to 54.0.2840.85 or later.; Remove obsolete Android devices that cannot run supported Chrome versions.; Check vendor guidance for any additional platform-specific mitigation..
