CVE-2024-8382
Last modified
CVE-2024-8382 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Internal browser event interfaces were exposed to web content when privileged EventHandler listener callbacks ran for those events. Web content that tried to use those interfaces would not be able to use them with elevated privileges, but their presence would indicate certain browser features had been used, such as when a user opened the Dev Tools console. EPSS estimates a 0.56% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
