CVE-2019-13705

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 78.0.3904.70

Description The issue is related to insufficient policy enforcement in extensions, allowing an attacker to leak cross-origin data via a crafted Chrome Extension. This can be achieved by convincing a user to install a malicious extension. The vulnerability enables an attacker to bypass permission restrictions for extensions and impact the system.

Recommendations For Google Chrome versions prior to 78.0.3904.70, update to version 78.0.3904.70 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the installation of extensions to only trusted sources and avoiding the use of unverified extensions.
