CVE-2026-4800

Impact: The fix for CVE-2021-23337 (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-35jh-r3h4-6jhm) added validation for the variable option in _.template but did not apply the same validation to options.imports key names. Both paths flow into the same Function() constructor sink. When an application passes untrusted input as options.imports key names, an attacker can inject default-parameter expressions that execute arbitrary code at template compilation time. Additionally, _.template uses assignInWith to merge imports, which enumerates inherited properties via for..in. If Object.prototype has been polluted by any other vector, the polluted keys are copied into the imports object and passed to Function(). Patches: Users should upgrade to version 4.18.0. Workarounds: Do not pass untrusted input as key names in options.imports. Only use developer-controlled, static key names.

CVE-2026-2950

Impact: Lodash versions 4.17.23 and earlier are vulnerable to prototype pollution in the _.unset and _.omit functions. The fix for (CVE-2025-13465: https://github.com/lodash/lodash/security/advisories/GHSA-xxjr-mmjv-4gpg) only guards against string key members, so an attacker can bypass the check by passing array-wrapped path segments. This allows deletion of properties from built-in prototypes such as Object.prototype, Number.prototype, and String.prototype. The issue permits deletion of prototype properties but does not allow overwriting their original behavior. Patches: This issue is patched in 4.18.0. Workarounds: None. Upgrade to the patched version.

Moderate
6.5
CVE-2025-13465

Lodash versions 4.0.0 through 4.17.22 are vulnerable to prototype pollution in the _.unset and _.omit functions. An attacker can pass crafted paths which cause Lodash to delete methods from global prototypes. The issue permits deletion of properties but does not allow overwriting their original behavior. This issue is patched on 4.17.23

Extensions with the scripting permission can inject and execute code in web pages, which can potentially be used for data exfiltration or session hijacking (requires host permissions, available since Manifest V3).

Critical
Browsing Data

Extensions with the browsingData permission can remove browsing data from a user's local profile, which could result in forensics / logging issues.

High
Declarative Net Request

Extensions with the declarativeNetRequest permission can block network requests without requiring host permissions, and redirect requests and modify headers if it has host permissions.

High
Privacy

Extensions with the privacy permission can manage browser features that may affect user privacy and safety, for example turn off phishing protection (safeBrowsingEnabled).

High
Proxy

Extensions with the proxy permission can configure how the user's internet traffic is routed, which can be exploited for data theft, man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, phishing, and bypassing network security measures.

High
Tabs

Extensions with the tabs permission can query the url, pendingUrl, title, and favIconUrl of any tab.

High
Alarms

Extensions with the alarms permission can schedule code to run periodically or at a specified time in the future.

Medium
Storage

Extensions with the storage permission can store and retrieve user data, which can persist even after clearing the cache and browsing history.

Medium
Web Request Auth Provider

Enables browser extensions to handle HTTP authentication requests and provide authentication credentials automatically

Medium
Background

Extensions with the background permission can force the browser run invisibly as soon as the user logs in to the computer, and keep the browser running after the last window is closed (until the user explicitly quits).
