Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization through the CreateNewWindow mojo call in the navigation controller when handling noopener popups from sandboxed frames. An attacker can force a sandbox-escaped download by hosting a crafted HTML page whose sandboxed iframe opens a noopener popup that navigates to a download resource.
