Claude Chrome extension flaw lets malicious extensions trigger AI actions

A vulnerability in Anthropic's Claude Chrome extension allows malicious extensions to simulate user clicks and trigger predefined AI actions without explicit user consent. The flaw could be exploited to abuse Claude's access to connected services including Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Salesforce.

Why it matters: Organizations and users with the Claude Chrome extension installed face unauthorized access to sensitive data and services if a malicious extension is present on the same browser; patching or disabling the extension should be prioritized.
