I extracted a patch file from the commit you mentioned at
https://salsa.debian.org/chromium-team/chromium/-/commit/e8b6bbd59aadf18e41ee98841da7fc4783036957
and applied it in our environment.
The patch seems to be working correctly. At least for our use case, the
--user-agent flag, it does not cause any further problems.
Let me know if you need any additional information.

Can you please test out the following patch?
https://salsa.debian.org/chromium-team/chromium/-/commit/e8b6bbd59aadf18e41ee98841da7fc4783036957
The easiest way to test would probably be to manually edit
/usr/bin/chromium, and cut/paste the changes that are reflected in that
commit for the debian/scripts/chromium file.

Thanks for the heads up. While I work on fixing this, a temporary
workaround you can use is ' -- ' before --user-agent. Eg,
chromium --headless --no-sandbox -- --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0
(Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like
Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2227.1 Safari/537.36"

Package: chromium

Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When running 125.0.6422.76-1~deb12u1, when passing arguments to the
chromium
wrapper script included in the Debian package, not all arguments are
passed
correctly to the Chromium binary.
This happens especially when the arguments need any type of quoting,
like
in the case of passing a custom User-Agent with --user-agent.
A minimal reproduction sample for me is running the following
command:
chromium --headless --no-sandbox --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0
(Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like
Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2227.1 Safari/537.36"
It seems that because the user agent contains spaces, this is not
correctly
passed to the chromium binary. The regression was not present in the
previous
security release, 125.0.6422.60-1~deb12u1, and seems to be caused by
change
https://salsa.debian.org/chromium-team/chromium/-/commit/dc792dc4f3bfdd3e00f5fe7b7bf314077ed301bb
Because of this, many of our headless usage scenarios do not work
correctly
anymore, since Chromium exits with the 'Multiple targets are not
supported'
message, because it parses some of the user agent as seperate
arguments to
its binary.
Seems like the wrapper script should be patched to handle this
scenario,
or the change should be reverted.
