The clipboard poisoning attack is said to have been accidentally introduced in Chrome version 104. A "major" security issue could allow malicious web pages to automatically overwrite clipboard content without requiring any user consent or interaction by simply visiting them. Threat actors could overwrite the clipboard with a link to specially crafted websites, leading victims to download dangerous software.
