Summary

Ars Technica reports that Google published exploit code for a long-unpatched Chromium vulnerability that can be triggered via the Browser Fetch API, potentially turning affected devices into a limited botnet. The flaw affects Chromium-based browsers like Chrome and Edge, with Firefox and Safari reportedly unaffected due to missing support for the feature.
