Subject: [PATCH] Let PasswordManagerClient::IsSavingAndFillingEnabled take url::Origin

This change transitions PasswordManagerClient::IsSavingAndFillingEnabled
from taking a GURL to taking a url::Origin. This is a security
improvement to prevent same-site sandboxed iframes (which have
opaque origins) from saving or filling credentials.

A 1-argument non-virtual helper is added to PasswordManagerClient
which delegates to the 2-argument virtual method. The virtual method
no longer has default parameters.

Derived classes (ChromePasswordManagerClient,
IOSChromePasswordManagerClient, and StubPasswordManagerClient) are
updated to override the new signature.

Call sites and test mocks are updated to pass url::Origin.

Bug: 523735038

Potential cross-origin credential leak via ProcessAutofillPredictions

Project Fortify, an experimental security project, has identified the following potential security issue. If you’re a feature owner CC-ed on this bug, please do your best to review these reports. Please see https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/security/ai-generated-security-bugs-faq.md for more information.

Overview: A potential vulnerability exists where a same-site sandboxed iframe with an opaque origin can steal parent origin credentials. This occurs because the browser-initiated ProcessAutofillPredictions path creates a PasswordFormManager without validating if the frame has an opaque origin, allowing the sandboxed frame to fetch the parent’s autofill data. An attacker can exploit this by dynamically changing a single-username field to a password field during an autofill interaction to exfiltrate the password.

Affected files:

  • components/password_manager/core/browser/password_manager.cc
  • chrome/browser/password_manager/chrome_password_manager_client.cc
  • components/password_manager/core/browser/password_autofill_manager.cc
  • components/password_manager/content/browser/content_password_manager_driver.cc

Estimated timestamp from git blame: Unknown (Google3 checkout)

Summary

A potential vulnerability in the Password Manager allows a same-site sandboxed iframe to obtain plaintext saved passwords belonging to its parent origin. This bypasses the security boundaries intended by the sandbox attribute (specifically when allow-same-origin is omitted, resulting in an opaque origin).

The root cause is that the browser-initiated prediction processing path (PasswordManager::ProcessAutofillPredictions) creates a PasswordFormManager for drivers associated with sandboxed iframes without validating if the frame’s committed origin is opaque. This results in the parent origin’s credentials being fetched and stored in the browser-side PasswordAutofillManager::fill_data_. When a user interacts with a single-username field and selects an autofill suggestion, an attacker can dynamically change the field type to password to force the renderer to fill the plaintext password into the DOM, where it can be read by malicious JavaScript.

Potential Attack Chain

Note: These are suggested steps based on static code analysis; a working Proof of Concept has not been run.

  1. Attacker Setup: An attacker embeds an iframe on the victim’s site (e.g., via user-generated content) with sandbox="allow-scripts" (omitting allow-same-origin). This forces the iframe into an opaque origin.
  2. Form Injection: The attacker injects a simple HTML form containing a single text input field (e.g., <input type="text" id="username">) into the sandboxed iframe.
  3. Prediction Trigger: The browser receives Autofill server predictions evaluating the form as a SINGLE_USERNAME field.
  4. Bypassing Validation: PasswordManager::ProcessAutofillPredictions is called and executes CreateFormManager(driver, form). While CreateFormManager checks client_->IsFillingEnabled(form.url()), it fails to check if the frame has an opaque origin (unlike renderer-initiated paths which use HasValidURL()).
  5. Credential Fetching: A PasswordFormManager is created, which fetches the victim’s saved credentials for the parent origin and stores the full plaintext password in the browser’s PasswordAutofillManager::fill_data_.
  6. User Interaction & Type Confusion: The user clicks the text input field, triggering the Autofill suggestion popup. While the popup is open, the attacker’s JavaScript dynamically alters the type attribute of the input element from text to password.
  7. Preserved Identity: Changing the type attribute preserves the element’s blink::WebNode::GetDomNodeId(), meaning its FieldRendererId and FieldRef dictionary key remain unchanged.
  8. Suggestion Selection & IPC: The user selects the suggestion. The browser retrieves the plaintext password from fill_data_ and sends it via the FillPasswordSuggestion Mojo IPC to the renderer.
  9. Renderer Filling: In the renderer, PasswordAutofillAgent::FillPasswordSuggestion calls FindPasswordInfoForElement. Because the attacker script changed the type to password, it successfully looks up the element in web_input_to_password_info_ using the preserved FieldRef. The validation passes, and blink::WebInputElement::SetAutofillValue injects the plaintext password into the DOM.
  10. Exfiltration: The attacker’s script reads the .value property of the input element, stealing the password.

Affected Code Locations

  • components/password_manager/core/browser/password_manager.cc: ProcessAutofillPredictions calls CreateFormManager without an opaque origin check.
  • components/password_manager/core/browser/password_manager.cc: CreateFormManager relies on IsFillingEnabled, which doesn’t check the origin’s opaque status.

Suggested Fix

Add an origin validation check to PasswordManager::ProcessAutofillPredictions or PasswordManager::CreateFormManager to ensure that a PasswordFormManager is not created for frames with an opaque origin. This could involve checking driver->HasValidURL() or explicitly verifying that the frame’s GetLastCommittedOrigin() is not opaque before proceeding with form manager creation.

Results so far have been promising, but there can be wrong deductions. Feel free to adjust as follows:

  • If you are familiar with the severity guidelines, you may adjust the severity.
  • If this is a false positive, and there’s no work to be done, please close as WAI.
  • If there is work to do here but not a vulnerability, please change the issue type to Task/Bug/FR.

Data from false positives will be used to improve accuracy over time. And please feel free to reach out to me directly if you have concerns or feedback on the project.
