UI spoofing via crafted malicious extension
Published Mar 5, 2025 · Updated Mar 5, 2025
Inappropriate permission-prompt handling in Google Chrome before 134.0.6998.35 allows attackers to spoof browser UI through a crafted extension. The public advisory names Permission Prompts as the affected component, but the linked Chromium issue remains access-restricted and Google has not disclosed the faulty operation. Exploitation requires convincing a user to install the malicious extension; the documented consequence is visual UI impersonation, not code execution or data disclosure.
