Origin-policy bypass in Chrome ANGLE on Windows before 157.0.8103.78
Improper state validation in ANGLE in Google Chrome on Windows lets a remote attacker bypass the web origin policy. The attacker needs the victim to open a crafted HTML page; no other authentication is described. Successful use breaks same-origin isolation for affected Windows Chrome users running a build before 157.0.8103.78.
What to do: Update Google Chrome on Windows to 157.0.8103.78 or later.
