CVE-2021-30587 is a security vulnerability discovered in Google Chrome's Compositing implementation prior to version 92.0.4515.107. The vulnerability was reported by Abdulrahman Alqabandi from Microsoft Browser Vulnerability Research on April 30, 2021. This vulnerability affects the browser's ability to properly handle the Omnibox (URL bar) content, potentially allowing remote attackers to spoof the URL display through specially crafted HTML pages (Chrome Release).

The vulnerability is classified with a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 4.3 (Medium), with the following vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N. This indicates that the vulnerability is network-accessible, requires low attack complexity, needs no privileges, but does require user interaction. The scope is unchanged, with no impact on confidentiality, low impact on integrity, and no impact on availability (NVD).

The vulnerability could allow an attacker to spoof the contents of the Omnibox (URL bar) through a crafted HTML page, potentially misleading users about the website they are visiting. This could be used in phishing attacks where users might believe they are on a legitimate website when they are actually on a malicious one (NVD).

The vulnerability was fixed in Google Chrome version 92.0.4515.107. Users and administrators are advised to update to this version or later to mitigate the risk. The fix was also incorporated into Chromium-based browsers and distributed to various Linux distributions including Fedora, Ubuntu, and Debian (Chrome Release).
