Authenticated JavaScript execution via unguarded wait function
Published Mar 26, 2026 · Updated Mar 26, 2026
Code injection in PinchTab 0.8.3 through 0.8.5 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in browser tabs via wait requests. The POST /wait and POST /tabs/{id}/wait handlers interpolate the fn field into JavaScript passed to chromedp.Evaluate without enforcing security.allowEvaluate. A server API token and reachable tab are required; execution can read or modify page state and act within authenticated browser sessions in that tab.
