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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Chrome versions prior to 50.0.2661.75 Opera versions prior to 50.0.2661.75

Description The issue arises from the incorrect reliance on GetOrigin method calls for origin comparisons in the Extensions subsystem. This allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy, potentially obtaining sensitive information via a crafted extension.

Recommendations For Google Chrome versions prior to 50.0.2661.75, update to version 50.0.2661.75 or later. For Opera versions prior to 50.0.2661.75, update to version 50.0.2661.75 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of extensions in Google Chrome and Opera until a patch is applied.
