Vulnerability details

Summarize prior to 0.15.1 contains a vulnerability in the hover summary feature that allows malicious pages to dispatch synthetic mouseover events over attacker-controlled links, causing the extension to make authenticated daemon requests using stored tokens without verifying event trustworthiness. Attackers…

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

addresses: CWE-918

Penetration testing attempts server-side requests to internal resources, identifying SSRF weaknesses for remediation.

addresses: CWE-940

Enforces verification of the source of a communication channel by requiring identification and authentication of services first.

addresses: CWE-940

Requires explicit verification of the source and integrity of the channel used for authentication and other security functions.

addresses: CWE-940

Provides the means to verify the source of name-resolution responses instead of relying on unauthenticated channels.

addresses: CWE-940

Requires explicit verification of the communication source, blocking session hijacking via spoofed or alternate channels.

addresses: CWE-918

Outbound connections to external resources can be monitored and limited at the boundary, reducing SSRF impact.

addresses: CWE-918

Validates server-side URLs and resource references to block SSRF attempts.

addresses: CWE-918

Detects server-side request forgery through monitoring of unexpected outbound connections.
