Descriptions

The Web Store inline-installer implementation in the Extensions UI in Google Chrome before 49.0.2623.75 does not block installations upon deletion of an installation frame, which makes it easier for remote attackers to trick a user into believing that an installation request originated from the user's next navigation target via a crafted web site.

La implementación de Web Store inline-installer en Extensions UI en Google Chrome en versiones anteriores a 49.0.2623.75 no bloquea las instalaciones sobre la eliminación de un marco de instalación, lo que facilita a atacantes remotos engañar a un usuario haciéndole creer que una petición de instalación está originada desde el siguiente destino de navegación del usuario a través de un sitio web manipulado.
