Firefox as well:

⚠️ Scam Warning: Take care when pasting things you don’t understand. This could allow attackers to steal your identity or take control of your computer. Please type ‘allow pasting’ below (no need to press enter) to allow pasting.

Soon browsers will require you to implement fizzbuzz in the console before enabling paste 😅

JavaScript can be used to get your password (if you enter it somewhere after pasting) or a session token, which gives an attacker temporary access to your account, unless a website is designed well enough to suspect that the attacker is not you.

Now what most people don't know is that websites can insert arbitrary text when you copy stuff of them. A malicious site will abuse that.

It works like that:

You follow a tutorial online or search for a code snippet. You copy some code/said snippet and paste it into a terminal or the browser command line. This copied text is altered by the site to be a one line command to install malware or grab passwords or cookies. All of that is followed by a line break and maybe your real command to lower suspicion.

Some of the terminal or browser shells interpret a line break in the copied text as enter which then executes the command.

To prevent that, get a shell, that doesn't just execute what you paste (fish shell) or a terminal program, that warns you about line breaks (Moba xterm).
And please check text from unknown sites before pasting it into a program that may execute it right away. (Just paste it into a text editor or look at your clipboard manager like Win+V in windows)
