back in 2022 i found a bug that would let me, with no user interaction, turn any chromium-based browser into a permanent js botnet member
-
OH NO I JUST REALIZED THIS IS NOT ACTUALLY PROPERLY FIXED AND STILL WORKS
even worse, edge no longer even makes the download menu pop up, so it's completely silent js rce that keeps running even after you close the browser !!
all from just visiting a single website once !!

@atjn i haven't tried lmao, i hope not
@atjn oh no..

in edge, you wouldn't even notice anything out-of-place, and would stay connected to the c2 even after closing the browser
today, almost 4 years later, the bug is finally public:
https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40062121@rebane2001 would the service worker process stay around even without the main browser process with edge?

@9pfs no, but the main process stays running even after closing all visible windows

@4censord works for me on a fresh session, might have to wait for it to load?

@rebane2001 So much for Edge having “the added trust of Microsoft”.

https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40062121@rebane2001@infosec.exchange Oh no the second I saw the download bit I knew it's gotta be content-disposition

@4censord works for me on a fresh session, might have to wait for it to load?
@rebane2001 hmm, nothing is loading for me, I've waited around 30s
There is also no loading indicator.
I'm using a similar browser as well, its also Firefox klar

@rebane2001 @natty they are very similar afaik, mostly branding because Germany has another established thing called "focus"
But I'll retry in fennec in a sec

@henry_null @rebane2001 Cue Microsoft issuing a press release accusing Rebane of "violating coordinated vulnerability best practices." They've barely had time to react, after all...

Uh oh! This issue still open and hasn't been updated in the last 262 days. This is a serious vulnerability, and we want to ensure that there's progress. Could you please leave an update with the current status and any potential blockers?

@rebane2001 I've got a dumb question: Is this something that can be mitigated with a uBlock filter? It reads like it could be but I don't know this stuff well.

@rebane2001 uh oh

I really should go ahead and disable js everywhere -
