CVE-2016-5149
HighSummary
The extensions subsystem in Google Chrome before version 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92 on Linux relies on an IFRAME source URL to identify an associated extension. This allows remote attackers to conduct extension-bindings injection attacks by leveraging script access to a resource that initially has the about:blank URL.
Risk Assessment
Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious extensions, potentially leading to data theft or takeover of the user's browser.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Google Chrome to the latest version to mitigate the risks associated with this vulnerability.
