Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

### Impact Apps that pass `VideoFrame` objects (from the WebCodecs API) across the `contextBridge` are vulnerable to a context isolation bypass. An attacker who can execute JavaScript in the main world (for example, via XSS) can use a bridged `VideoFrame` to gain access to the isolated world, including any Node.js APIs exposed to the preload script. Apps are only affected if a preload script returns, resolves, or passes a `VideoFrame` object to the main world via `contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld()`. Apps that do not bridge `VideoFrame` objects are not affected. ### Workarounds Do not pass `VideoFrame` objects across `contextBridge`. If an app needs to transfer video frame data, serialize it to an `ArrayBuffer` or `ImageBitmap` before bridging. ### Fixed Versions * `41.0.0-beta.8` * `40.7.0` * `39.8.0` ### For more information If there are any questions or comments about this advisory, please email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
