HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk11th percentile - higher than 11% of all known CVEs
Summary
Version 3.0.7 of the Securly Chrome Extension exposes multiple publicly accessible endpoints that allow unauthenticated access to sensitive data. The exposed information consists of SHA-1 hashes obfuscated with a simple Caesar cipher that can be easily reversed.
Risk Assessment
Risk of sensitive data (SHA-1 hashes) leakage to unauthorized parties.
Recommendation
Update the Securly Chrome Extension to a version newer than 3.0.7.
Other vulnerabilities in Securly Chrome Extension
See all- CVE-2026-8889High
Version 3.0.7 of the Securly Chrome Extension uses deprecated SHA-1 hashing for IWF CSAM URL matching (25,020 hashes) and CIPA blocklist matching (12,352 hashes).
- CVE-2026-8888High
Securly Chrome Extension version 3.0.7 downloads config.json over HTTP and compiles server-provided patterns as JavaScript regular expressions via new RegExp() without complexity validation. An on-path attacker can inject patterns causing catastrophic backtracking, resulting in denial of service on all browsing.
- CVE-2026-8881High
Securly Chrome Extension version 3.0.7 uses EVP_BytesToKey with MD5 and a single iteration for AES encryption. MD5 has been broken since 2004 and a single iteration provides no key stretching, weakening the encryption.
- CVE-2026-8879High
Securly Chrome Extension version 3.0.7 dynamically registers content13.min.js as a content script not declared in manifest.json, bypassing Chrome Web Store static security review. It runs on all URLs, immediately hides all page content, creates a full-page overlay, pauses all videos, and only restores content when the service worker confirms the page passes filtering. If Securly's servers are unreachable, pages remain indefinitely hidden.
- CVE-2026-8876High
Version 3.0.7 of the Securly Chrome Extension contains hardcoded, plaintext AES passphrases in securly.min.js. These keys decrypt crisis alert keyword data and intervention site data.
- CVE-2026-8874High
Securly Chrome Extension version 3.0.7 downloads JSON files containing crisis alert keywords and filtering rules over unencrypted HTTP via the Fetch API. Other endpoints in the same extension correctly fetch IWF and CIPA data over HTTPS, demonstrating an inconsistent TLS implementation.
Original NVD description (English source)
Version 3.0.7 of the Securly Chrome Extension exposes multiple publicly accessible endpoints that allow unauthenticated access to sensitive data. The exposed information consists of SHA-1 hashes that are inadequately obfuscated using a simple Caesar cipher, which can be easily reversed to recover the original hash values and access the protected data.
