Overview
chrome-devtools-frontend is a Chrome DevTools UI
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Protection Mechanism Failure through the openInNewTab() function in the InspectorFrontendHostStub class within Chrome's DevTools component. An attacker can perform a sandbox escape by crafting an HTML page that passes a javascript: URL scheme to the openInNewTab() method, which does not validate URL schemes before opening them in a new tab.
