Spook.js is a new transient execution side channel attack which targets the Chrome web browser. We show that despite Google's attempts to mitigate Spectre by deploying Strict Site Isolation, information extraction via malicious JavaScript code is still possible in some cases.
More specifically, we show that an attacker-controlled webpage can know which other pages from the same websites a user is currently browsing, retrieve sensitive information from these pages, and even recover login credentials (e.g., username and password) when they are autofilled. We further demonstrate that the attacker can retrieve data from Chrome extensions (such as credential managers) if a user installs a malicous extension.
