Description:
Summary
A user is unable to decrypt an incoming PGP message using the FlowCrypt browser extension. The message fails with an error referencing CompressedDataPacket parsing and a Permission denied error on the autoAllocateChunkSize property.
Error message
Could not open this message with FlowCrypt.
other: MalformedPacketParsing CompressedDataPacket failed: Permission denied to access property "autoAllocateChunkSize"
Steps to reproduce
- Receive a PGP-encrypted message (details below).
- Attempt to decrypt it directly within the FlowCrypt browser extension.
- Decryption fails with the error above.
Additional context
- The user noted that forwarding the message causes it to decrypt automatically in the forwarded message panel, which is a separate concern since it would expose the original content to the forward recipient without the sender's consent.
- Troubleshooting on our end confirmed the message was encrypted correctly using the recipient's public key, so the issue appears to be on the decryption/parsing side within the extension.
- Sample of the affected PGP message is attached/available for reference (truncated for brevity).
Environment
- Product: FlowCrypt browser extension version 8.5.14
- Browser used: Mozilla Firefox 153
