Description
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.
Google Chrome before 13.0.782.107 does not ensure that developer-mode NPAPI extension installations are confirmed by a browser dialog, which makes it easier for remote attackers to modify the product's functionality via a Trojan horse extension.
