Browser extensions have become a prime target for malicious actors looking to exploit vulnerabilities.

Malicious extensions built on Google’s Manifest V3 can still bypass security features and steal live video streams from collaboration platforms like Google Meet and Zoom Web without needing special permissions.

Security solutions like endpoint protection, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), and Secure Web Gateways ( SWG ) cannot dynamically assess browser extensions for potential risks.
