Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-03 21:30 – Updated: 2026-06-04 21:31

Details

Version 3.0.7 of the Securly Chrome Extension downloads config.json over HTTP and compiles server-provided patterns as JavaScript regular expressions via new RegExp() without complexity validation. An on-path attacker can inject specific patterns to cause catastrophic backtracking, resulting in denial of service on all browsing.

Severity

7.5 (High)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
