Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Defaults when using GetOriginalOpener to get opener's origin on FrameTree initialization. GetOriginalOpener was used to get the opener, but that function will actually return the main frame of the opener. This means when the FrameTree is opened by a non-main frame, it might inherit the wrong origin.
