More security problems for WebGL

Context highlights additional WebGL vulnerabilities and raises more questions for Khronos

(PresseBox) (London, )
Researchers at Context Information Security who exposed security flaws in WebGL last month have identified further concerns about early implementations of the new technology that allows web pages to draw fast 3D graphics to deliver a much richer experience to web users. In one example, a vulnerability in the Mozilla Firefox browser made it possible for malicious web pages to capture any screenshot from a target PC - including the user's desktop, other web pages or applications. By revealing that none of the current implementations comply with WebGL conformance standards, Context also raises serious questions for Khronos, the consortium which wfo akgoe yh clu PkaAG dwaqtxsqfhamn lqa kqrgihecngs dsqqz.
