Root Cause

The issue is caused by the following code in rrweb.js:

const encodedJs = "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...");

And in rrweb-player.js, the following lines are causing the issue:

const encodedJs = "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...");

Action Needed:

• Remove or replace the obfuscated Base64-encoded JavaScript with a readable implementation.
• Ensure compliance with the extension policy to avoid further violations.
