Google this week announced a security vulnerability in Chromium, the open source operating system that includes Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and Arc, Ars Technica reported. The bug was reported to the company 42 months ago by independent researcher Lyra Rebane, who initially thought Wednesday’s post to the project’s tracker meant a patch had been sent. It didn’t. Google pulled the plug after the bug came to light, but the exploit code was already displayed on the archived page.

This exploit exploits the Browser Fetch API, a feature designed to perform heavy background loading, allowing any page visited to find a worker on the device. The resulting connections can be used to monitor browsing activity, traffic on the victim’s machine, or drag the device into a connected DDoS network – connections that survive reboots and, in some cases, reboots. On the beach, there are few known signs. Chrome users may see unknown downloads.
