0.0.0.0 Day – 18 Yr Old Vulnerability Allow Attackers to Bypass All Browser Security

Threat actors often target and exploit security flaws in web browsers, as exploiting flaws in web browsers enables them to gain unauthorized access and perform several illicit activities.

Not only that, threat actors also get a wide attack surface with minimal effort by exploiting the security flaws in browsers.

Cybersecurity researchers at Oligo Security’s research team recently discovered 0.0.0.0 day, an 18-year-old vulnerability that enables attackers to bypass all browser security.

Technical Analysis

It’s a major security problem affecting all popular web browsers (Chromium, Firefox, and Safari) that allows external websites to interface with software that is being run locally on macOS and Linux.

The vulnerability known as “ow.night” was caused due to the fact that the security mechanisms were implemented in different ways depending on what browser was used and the lack of any uniform standards in this industry.
