Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Transmission of Private Resources into a New Sphere ('Resource Leak'). Service Workers did not detect Private Browsing Mode correctly in all cases, which could have led to Service Workers being written to disk for websites visited in Private Browsing Mode. This would not have persisted them in a state where they would run again, but it would have leaked Private Browsing Mode details to disk.
