0.0.0.0 Vulnerability

Researchers at Oligo Security have identified a zero-day vulnerability affecting all major browsers that could be exploited to bypass browser security and possibly access local networks. According to the researchers, “the issue stems from the inconsistent implementation of security mechanisms across different browsers, along with a lack of standardization in the browser industry. As a result, the seemingly innocuous IP address, 0.0.0.0, can become a powerful tool for attackers to exploit local services, including those used for development, operating systems, and even internal networks.” Ref https://www.oligo.security/blog/0-0-0-0-day-exploiting-localhost-apis-from-the-browser
