The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in layout with accessibility. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted website, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
3) Insufficient UI Warning of Dangerous Operations (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-10460)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the origin of an external protocol handler prompt can be obscured using a "data:" URL within an iframe. A remote attacker can perform spoofing attack.
4) Universal cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-10461)
