CVE-2026-33622: PinchTab is a standalone HTTP server that gives AI agents direct control over a Chrome browser. PinchTab `v0.8.3` throug
Summary
PinchTab is an HTTP server that allows AI agents to control a Chrome browser, but versions 0.8.3 through 0.8.5 have a security flaw where two endpoints (POST /wait and POST /tabs/{id}/wait) can execute arbitrary JavaScript (run code of an attacker's choice in the browser) even when JavaScript evaluation is disabled by the operator. Unlike the properly protected POST /evaluate endpoint, these vulnerable endpoints don't check the security policy before running user-provided code, though an attacker still needs valid authentication credentials to exploit it.
Solution / Mitigation
The source states that 'the current worktree fixes this by applying the same policy boundary to `fn` mode in `/wait` that already exists on `/evaluate`, while preserving the non-code wait modes.' However, the source explicitly notes 'as of time of publication, a patched version is not yet available.'
