NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream chromium-browser package and not the chromium-browser package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Insufficient policy enforcement in extensions in Google Chrome prior to 77.0.3865.75 allowed an attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to read local files via a crafted Chrome Extension.
