CVE-2026-45244

Summarize prior to 0.15.1 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows attackers to execute browser automation actions without per-call user approval when the extension automation feature is enabled. Attackers can influence the agent through malicious page or summary content to invoke enabled extension automation tools such as navigation or debugger-backed actions, bypassing the final user approval step when a user interacts with attacker-controlled content.

Summary		(es) Summarize anterior a 0.15.1 contiene una vulnerabilidad de autorización faltante que permite a los atacantes ejecutar acciones de automatización del navegador sin la aprobación del usuario por llamada cuando la función de automatización de la extensión está habilitada. Los atacantes pueden influir en el agente a través de contenido malicioso de página o resumen para invocar herramientas de automatización de la extensión habilitadas, como navegación o acciones respaldadas por depurador, omitiendo el paso final de aprobación del usuario cuando un usuario interactúa con contenido controlado por el atacante.
