  - linux-entra-sso is a browser plugin for Linux to SSO on Microsoft Entra ID. Prior to 1.8.1,
    platform/chrome/js/platform-chrome.js:69-88 registers a single declarativeNetRequest rule whose urlFilter
    is Platform.SSO_URL + /*, i.e. https://login.microsoftonline.com/*. Chrome's urlFilter without a | or
    || anchor is substring-matched against the full request URL. The same applied rule action is modifyHeaders
    that attaches the Entra ID Primary Refresh Token cookie. The Firefox adapter in
    platform/firefox/js/platform-firefox.js:53 performs a belt-and-braces startsWith(Platform.SSO_URL) check
    before injecting the header; the Chrome adapter does not. When the extension holds broad host permissions
    through the optional_host_permissions: [https://*/*] declared in platform/chrome/manifest.json:34, a
    main-frame navigation to a URL whose path embeds https://login.microsoftonline.com/ causes Chrome to
    attach the PRT cookie to the request to the attacker-controlled host. This vulnerability is fixed in
    1.8.1. (CVE-2026-42177)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
