React Developer Tools extension Improper Authorization vulnerability

Published Oct 19, 2023 · Updated Sep 12, 2024 · Assigned by snyk

Description

The React Developer Tools extension registers a message listener with window.addEventListener('message', <listener>) in a content script that is accessible to any webpage that is active in the browser. Within the listener is code that requests a URL derived from the received message via fetch(). The URL is not validated or sanitised before it is fetched, thus allowing a malicious web page to arbitrarily fetch URL’s via the victim's browser.
