custom tabs security

About this tag
The custom tabs security tag covers vulnerabilities in Chrome for Android's Custom Tabs feature, a browser component that allows apps to display web content without fully switching to the browser. Recent discussions focus on two CVEs fixed in Chrome 149.0.7827.53: CVE-2026-11035, a medium-severity privilege escalation via crafted XML files, and CVE-2026-11247, a low-severity cross-origin data leak through insufficient policy enforcement. These threads highlight how Custom Tabs create a security boundary between apps and the web, where even low-to-medium severity bugs can have real-world impact due to the trust users place in embedded browsing. The tag is relevant for IT professionals, Android developers, and security researchers monitoring Chrome vulnerabilities that affect mobile app-to-web handoff flows.
