CVE-2016-8505

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Yandex browser for desktop versions prior to 16.6

Description The issue is related to a lack of protection for the web page structure in the BookReader extension of Yandex Browser, which could allow a remote attacker to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack, enabling the evaluation of arbitrary JavaScript code.

Recommendations For versions prior to 16.6, update to version 16.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the BookReader extension until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially vulnerable web pages to minimize the risk of exploitation.
