Claude for Chrome Cross-Extension Privilege Escalation (Rogue Extension Gmail/Calendar/Docs Access)
highZero-DaySecurity researchers found that Claude for Chrome, Anthropic's browser-based AI agent, can be manipulated by any other malicious browser extension capable of injecting a script into claude.ai. This allows a rogue extension to trigger Claude's authenticated agent actions, silently reading a victim's Gmail, Google Docs (including comments), and Calendar without direct user consent for that specific action. The flaw is related to but distinct from the previously disclosed 'ClaudeBleed' issue, sharing the same rogue-extension prerequisite but differing in the scope of accessible data.
