UXSS via malicious extension security UI flaw
Published Jun 30, 2026 · Updated Jun 30, 2026
Incorrect security UI in Google Chrome before 150.0.7871.47 allows attackers to inject scripts or HTML through a crafted page. The Extensions component mishandles security UI associated with an installed malicious extension, enabling universal cross-site scripting; restricted bug details do not disclose the exact code path or validation error. Exploitation requires a user to install the attacker's extension and encounter crafted HTML, bounding the impact to browser content reachable in that extension-assisted context.
