CVE-2021-29959

First published: Tue Jun 01 2021(Updated: )

When a user has already allowed a website to access microphone and camera, disabling camera sharing would not fully prevent the website from re-enabling it without an additional prompt. This was only possible if the website kept recording with the microphone until re-enabling the camera.
