Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Origin Validation Error via setPlaceholderBuffer() in PlaceholderRenderingContext when transferring ImageBitmap data from an OffscreenCanvas to a placeholder canvas. An attacker can exfiltrate image data by drawing an image to an ImageBitmap, transferring it to an OffscreenCanvas, and then calling toDataURL() on the output canvas. This should throw a SecurityError, but it does not because the origin-clean flag is not propagated.
