CVE-2022-4908: SOP bypass in Chrome using Navigation API

Johan Carlsson and @joaxcar · Johan Carlsson · 6 October 2023

Chrome's Navigation API copied navigation.entries() from the previous document when a window or frame was navigated to about:blank, so a same-site but cross-origin page could read the target window's full history URLs (CVE-2022-4908). Combined with broken OAuth flows this exfiltrates codes and tokens, turning a subdomain XSS or takeover into account takeover.
