"New Attack Shows Risks of Browsers Giving Websites Access to GPU"
A team of researchers from Graz University of Technology in Austria and the University of Rennes in France demonstrated a new Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) attack that affects several popular browsers and graphics cards. The study focused on WebGPU, an Application Programming Interface (API) that allows web developers to use the system's GPU to perform high-performance computations in a web browser. Through this API, they demonstrated an attack that works from the web browser using JavaScript.
