The attack vectors are either some type of credential or account compromise. Generally, these attacks fall under the cross-site scripting (XSS) umbrella. The browser exposes certain things to the JS context based on the origin. E.g. if you log in to facebook.com, facebook.com might set an authentication cookie that can be accessed in the JS context. Additionally, all outbound requests to facebook.com will include this authentication cookie. So, if you can execute JS in the context of facebook.com, you could steal this cookie or have the browser perform malicious actions that get implicitly authenticated.
