A security
feature in the Chrome web browser which has been designed to mitigate
JavaScript memory corruption issues has security vulnerabilities
The earlier version of Chrome i.e.,
beforehand 128.0.6613.84, allows a remote attacker to potentially exploit
memory corruption or access all the system or server resources via a
constructed HTML page.
INSIGHTS ABOUT THE THREAD:
Chrome V8 Engine, has been designed in JavaScript
engine which executes the JavaScript code. V8 is written in C++ and it can execute the
C++ programs which knobs the file system, database and network connections and this permits to construct C++ in JavaScript,
and this will be executed via V8.
It can execute JavaScript code either
within or outside of a browser.
V8 is used in the Chromium-based web
browsers - Google Chrome, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Microsoft Edge, and in
the Couchbase database server.
Hence forth using this exploitation, if the organization/individuals
have old browsers in machines or in server entire organization/individuals’
data in filesystem & databases, and network can be controlled/accessed.
Hence as part of DevOps Security Practices, it is encouraged to update the browser to the latest version to come over these security vulnerabilities.
