Bridge control via unrestricted content-script messages
Published Mar 17, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Message validation failure in NAVER Whale Browser before 3.12.129.46 allows attackers to control Whale Bridge after renderer compromise. The default Whale Bridge extension accepts any SendMessage request from its own content script instead of restricting messages from a compromised renderer. Exploitation requires prior compromise of the browser rendering process, after which the attacker can control the Bridge interface.
