 tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
 potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, bypass security
 restrictions, spoof the URL bar, or execute arbitrary code.

  It was discovered that the Devtools’ ‘Copy as cURL’ feature did not
 properly HTTP POST data of a request. If a user were tricked in to using

 crafted data in to a terminal, an attacker could potentially exploit this
 to obtain sensitive information from local files.
