Descriptions

The extensions subsystem in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92 on Linux relies on an IFRAME source URL to identify an associated extension, which allows remote attackers to conduct extension-bindings injection attacks by leveraging script access to a resource that initially has the about:blank URL.

El subsistema de extensiones en Google Chrome en versiones anteriores a 53.0.2785.89 en Windows y SO X y en versiones anteriores a 53.0.2785.92 en Linux confía en una URL de origen IFRAME para identificar una extensión asociada, lo que permite a atacantes remotos llevar a cabo ataques de inyección de extensiones vinculantes aprovechando el acceso con secuencias de comandos a un recurso que inicialmente tiene la URL about:blank.
