CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/565.html

Google Chrome before 15.0.874.102 does not properly handle javascript: URLs, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and read cookies via unspecified vectors.

Weakness

The product relies on the existence or values of cookies when performing security-critical operations, but it does not properly ensure that the setting is valid for the associated user.
