Omnibox spoofing via crafted malicious extension
Published Aug 12, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
UI spoofing in Google Chrome before 104.0.5112.79 allows attackers to falsify the Omnibox through a crafted extension. Google's public advisory identifies an inappropriate Extensions API implementation, but the linked restricted issue leaves the wrong code operation undisclosed. Exploitation requires the victim to install the malicious extension, and the demonstrated consequence is deceptive URL-bar content.
