Please provide a brief explanation of the security issue.

Passwords stored for web sites can be displayed (read) without operating system password authentication (the one which needs to be entered if someone wants to check the stored passwords in the settings). 

How to do it.
Go to a web site which has a password stored in Chrome.
Right click in the password box (where stars are displayed) and select inspect.
Find type="password" in the highlighted area.
Change it to anything like this type="paueu" then press enter and the real password is shown in the password box.

Unmasking of passwords via Chrome's developer tools is not a security vulnerability since it requires physical access to the machine. Please see https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/security/faq.md#What-about-unmasking-of-passwords-with-the-developer-tools for more.
