Original advisory details:

 tricked into opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
 potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive
 information, conduct spoofing attacks, bypass CSP restrictions, or
 execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-43536, CVE-2021-43537, CVE-2021-43538,
 CVE-2021-43539, CVE-2021-43541, CVE-2021-43542, CVE-2021-43543,

 install a service worker that wouldn't be uninstalled with the extension.
