Unvalidated URL in Debugger Extension API Allows Access Bypass

CVE-2014-3172 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:N

The Debugger extension API in browser/extensions/api/debugger/debugger_api.cc in Google Chrome before 37.0.2062.94 does not validate a tab's URL before an attach operation, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access limitations via an extension that uses a restricted URL, as demonstrated by a chrome:// URL.
