"0.0.0.0 Day: 18-Year-Old Browser Vulnerability Impacts MacOS and Linux Devices"

Researchers at Oligo Security have discovered an 18-year-old vulnerability that affects all major web browsers. According to Oligo Security researcher Avi Lumelsky, the critical vulnerability reveals a fundamental flaw in the handling of network requests by browsers, which could enable malicious actors to access sensitive services running on local devices. The company noted that the vulnerability has far-reaching implications. It is caused by inconsistent implementation of security mechanisms as well as a lack of standardization across different browsers. A seemingly harmless IP address like 0.0.0.0 could be weaponized to exploit local services, leading to unauthorized access and Remote Code Execution (RCE) by attackers outside the network. This article continues to discuss findings regarding the critical browser vulnerability.
