CVE-2014-3172: Google Chrome

Medium severity, CVSS 6.4. EPSS: 1.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Debugger extension API in browser/extensions/api/debugger/debugger_api.cc in Google Chrome before 37.0.2062.94 does not validate a tab's URL before an attach operation, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access limitations via an extension that uses a restricted URL, as demonstrated by a chrome:// URL.
