I was surprised that the JSONView Chrome extension wasn&#x27;t working when I opened a tab with JSON that didn&#x27;t get reformatted. When I checked chrome:&#x2F;&#x2F;extensions&#x2F;, there was a note: &quot;This extension contains a serious security vulnerability.&quot; The extension had been automatically disabled in Chrome.<p>When I googled the extension, opening the extension&#x27;s page in the Chrome store returned a 404. I haven&#x27;t been able to get more information about what the vulnerability is.
