CVE-2022-3661Network attack vector

Cross-origin data disclosure via crafted extension

Published Nov 1, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Insufficient data validation in Google Chrome before 107.0.5304.62 allows remote attackers to leak cross-origin data via a crafted extension. Google has not published the specific Extensions code path or the untrusted field whose validation fails, and the linked Chromium issue remains access-restricted. Exploitation requires control of a renderer process and a crafted extension, so the bounded consequence is cross-origin data disclosure from the browser.
