A newly devised "polymorphic" attack allows malicious Chrome extensions to morph into other browser extensions, including password managers, crypto wallets, and banking apps, to steal sensitive information. The attack was devised by SquareX Labs, which warns of its practicality and feasibility on the latest version of Chrome. The researchers have responsibly disclosed the attack to Google. The attack begins with submitting the malicious polymorphic extension on Chrome's Web Store. [1]
