Mailvelope Private Key Exposure and Message Decryption Vulnerability
Description
Mailvelope prior to 3.3.0 allows private key operations without user interaction via its client-API.

A second vulnerability allows an attacker to decrypt an arbitrary message when the GnuPG backend is used in Mailvelope.
