Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to the way the browsers handles escape button and pointerlock. It was possible to prevent a user from exiting pointerlock when pressing escape and to overlay customValidity notifications from a <select> element over certain permission prompts. This could be used to confuse a user into giving a site unintended permissions.


Remediation

Install updates from vendor's website.
