Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Auth Bypass: The extension manages critical authorization policies based on requesting origins. Improper origin parsing allowed attackers to bypass authentication constraints between HTTP and HTTPS schemes.
Auth Bypass: Tab message handling lacked explicit authorization checks, permitting unauthorized origins to trigger sensitive extension API routines.
Auth Bypass: Mismatch between the transaction's expected signer and the derived public address of the active Ledger device allowed unauthorized signature operations.
