Researchers have disclosed a coordinated campaign involving malicious Chrome extensions impersonating enterprise HR and ERP platforms, including Workday and NetSuite.
The extensions demonstrated capabilities such as:
- Continuous cookie exfiltration
- Blocking of security administration pages via DOM manipulation
- Session hijacking through injected authentication states
The activity highlights persistent risks within browser extension ecosystems, especially when tools present themselves as productivity enhancers.
