| | [1] | Per the Security Assessment Review, users must abide by the following constraints:
- The SAML, WS-Federation and OAuth 2.0 tracer Browser Extension uses permissions that may not be necessary for the extension to function. Two criticalrisk permissions were noted. It is advised that permissions are verified with the developer and removed if they are not absolutely necessary for the extension to function. Using permissions that are not essential to the extension’s functionality expose the system, using the SAML, WS-Federation and OAuth 2.0 tracer Browser Extension, to potential vulnerabilities and addition risk that could otherwise be avoided by disabling nonessential permissions.
