intercept responses to plugin network requests made through the browser.
Plugins which make security decisions based on the content of network requests
can have these decisions subverted if a service worker forges responses to those
requests. For example, a forged crossdomain.xml could allow a
malicious site to violate the same-origin policy using the Flash plugin.");
