Descriptions

Insufficient policy enforcement in extensions in Google Chrome prior to 81.0.4044.92 allowed an attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted Chrome Extension.

Una aplicación insuficiente de la política en extensions de Google Chrome versiones anteriores a 81.0.4044.92, permitió a un atacante, que convenció a un usuario para instalar una extensión maliciosa, obtener información potencialmente confidencial desde la memoria del proceso por medio de una Extensión de Chrome diseñada.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Chromium and Google Chrome, the worst of which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. Versions less than 81.0.4044.92 are affected.
