Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Victim must (1) have Adobe Acrobat PDF Extension for Chrome version 26.5.2.2 or earlier installed and enabled in Chromium-based browser, and (2) actively visit a maliciously crafted URL or interact with a compromised web page (UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals are consistent but moderate. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker sends a phishing link or compromises a frequently visited site; when a victim running the vulnerable extension visits the page, attacker-controlled script triggers the UXSS condition in the extension's privileged context. The script then reads session-scoped data (cookies, tokens, or DOM content) from other origins the user is logged into - for example a webmail or SaaS tab - and exfiltrates it. …
