A RCE is a critical vulnerability that permits a bad actor to execute malicious code on a target device remotely, without the victim’s knowledge.

THE MIDDLE MAN

A well-known threat actor called IntelBroker would act as middleman making easy the payment and exploit delivery. Moreover a middleman should provide trust and transparency incentivizing the purchase. This specific couple of buyre and middle-man are the same that provided another advertisment for a Linux Kernel 0-day a few days ago.

SECURITY MEASURES

0-day vulnerabilities define the biggest threat in the digital space, this flaw are unknown to the product supplier and the patch cannot be developed until a proof of the vulnerability gets uncovered. In the context of the Chrome Browser’s Sandbox the potential bypass of the safeguars and the possibility of execute code at OS level expose systems to an high risk. Every user and company should implement available security measures to protect their system. Sharing and collaboration of information inside the infosec community are essential to face dangerous threat like 0-days in an efficient way.

CONCLUSION

Chrome is the most used web browser in the world, with a market share >60%. This means the potential victims range is really wide. Regular updates, security softwareand common sense are required to avoid to be caught by this exploit. Regardless all the mitigation measures active in systems we must remember the zero risk doesn’t exist.
