FAQ

What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability? An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could smuggle another HTTP request and bypass front-end security controls or hijack other users' credentials. According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to no loss of confidentiality (C:N) and integrity (I:N), but could lead to some loss of availability (A:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability? An attacker using either a specially-crafted page or a content script injected into a target page can show an extension's popup over a permission prompt or screen share dialog allowing the extension to spoof parts of the prompt's UI that shows its origin. According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do? The user would have to click on a specially crafted URL to be compromised by the attacker, and navigate to a malicious site where malicious code would execute a series of specially crafted queries.
