The "Manage Extensions" screen provides a list of extensions published by third-party developers. If an extension had a malicious description, it could trick the user's browser into executing Javascript code.

Note: To exploit this, an attacker would need to gain control of a trusted developer account, and they would leave evidence in a public feed. At time of writing, there is no known evidence of previous attack. Resolving this issue prevents future attacks.
