Browser extensions, which are small software modules that are added to the browser and can enhance browsing experiences, have become a popular browser attack vector.

In both cases, users innocently installed extensions that compromised their privacy and security. The underlying issue lies in the permissions granted to extensions. These permissions, often excessive and lacking granularity, allow attackers to exploit them.
