An incorrect UI for autofilling security information.
Add-ons (BFCache and ANGLE), Type Confusion in loader, Insufficient validation of untrusted input on the new tab page, and Heap Buffer Overflows in extensions were all found. By encouraging a victim to view a specially-crafted web page, an attacker might exploit these vulnerabilities from afar.” “A remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code on the targeted machine if these vulnerabilities are exploited,” the researchers said.
