Right, like getting access to the DOM was ever a hard thing to do. I was specifically referring to web apps in that point, but because you insist, I'll just reference [1].

Another vector to get rogue JS into a user's browser is cache-poisoning, something the article also brings up.

Cache poisoning won't work if an extension loads all of its code from its own bundle. So I fail to see how this applies to an app that is fully self-contained within an extension (extensions themselves are signed, so it's not like you could MitM the extension bundle itself...)
