I've used daily the JSONView Chrome extension (previously available in https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jsonview/chklaanhfefbnpoihckbnefhakgolnmc?hl=en) for viewing JSON.<p>Just now I noticed that it has been automatically disabled from my browser. Visiting `chrome://extensions/` states "This extension contains a serious security vulnerability". And also, it's no longer available in the Chrome Web Store (see link above).<p>Any idea, what's the vulnerability? I tried to google, but found no info about this...
<a href="https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/JSONView-for-Chrome/pull/49" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/JSONView-for-Chrome/pull/4...</a> maybe it's about this XSS issue. Funny though, that the extension it's just now suddenly being pulled out.<p>I would've imagined this extension being used by A LOT of developers...
