Technical details
The vulnerability is an authorization bypass (CWE-863) in the browser tool component where sandboxed sessions can reach host browser actions despite allowHostControl=false configuration. The attack requires low privileges (the ability to steer sandboxed agent input) and network access, with no user interaction needed. A successful exploit allows the attacker to access browser operations and authenticated state on paired nodes, bypassing the sandbox boundary intentionally set by the operator.
