CVE-2026-95290 is an origin-validation flaw in Google Chrome WebNFC permission handling. WebNFC requests originating from sandboxed or otherwise opaque-origin documents could reach permission evaluation without being rejected. During origin normalization, an opaque origin could be represented by an empty URL and cause evaluation to fall back to the WebContents visible URL. Consequently, permission evaluation could be associated with a visible primary-frame URL rather than the opaque origin that initiated the request. The fix blocks WebNFC binding and permission evaluation for opaque-origin documents.

A Google Chrome vulnerability addressed in version 154.0.8037.57; no flaw-specific details are provided.
A WebNFC origin-validation and permission-bypass vulnerability in Chromium's NFCHost/NFC permission handling. An attacker with a compromised renderer could potentially cause an opaque-origin sandboxed popup to inherit a victim origin's previously granted WebNFC permission through a GetVisibleURL fallback. Chromium fixed the issue by explicitly blocking opaque origins in NFCHost and NfcPermissionContext.
