Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Specified Type of Input via the requestObject function in the HTMLPlugInElement class within the WebCore HTML plugin element. An attacker can cause an unexpected process crash by providing maliciously crafted web content that includes malformed plugin requests with empty URL and MIME type parameters, which bypasses Content Security Policy checks before plugin loading.
