Adobe Chrome extension flaw let sites access private WhatsApp chats
A vulnerability in the Adobe Acrobat extension for Chrome allowed unauthorized access to WhatsApp Web conversations and data without requiring authentication. The flaw exposed private messages and information that should have been protected, affecting users who had both the extension and WhatsApp Web open in their browser.
Why it matters: Any Chrome user with the Adobe Acrobat extension and WhatsApp Web active was vulnerable to having their private conversations accessed by malicious websites; organizations should audit browser extension permissions and consider disabling unnecessary extensions.
