Script/HTML Injection in Google Chrome DevTools via Malicious Extension
Google Chrome prior to 145.0.7632.116 contains an inappropriate implementation flaw in DevTools that allows a malicious browser extension, once installed by a user, to inject script or HTML into a privileged browser page via DevTools. The issue affects the boundary handling between extension-controlled content and privileged DevTools/browser pages, enabling untrusted extension input to be rendered or executed in a more privileged context than intended.
