Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Origin Validation Error via the MediaResourceLoader::requestResource function in the WebCore loader component. An attacker can exfiltrate cross-origin data by loading cross-origin media resources without CORS that contain nested resources (e.g., HLS playlists), allowing performance timing entries for those nested resources to be exposed through the Performance API, which can be used to infer information about cross-origin resources.
