It allows a remote attacker to leak cross-origin data by leveraging crafted XML files. This vulnerability stems from improper handling of extension security policies, enabling unauthorized data exposure across origins. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, unchanged scope, high confidentiality impact, and no integrity or availability impact. There is no explicit vendor advisory stating a patch or fix, but the affected versions are prior to 149.0.7827.53, implying that updating to 149.0.7827.53 or later addresses the issue.
