Mandiant Uncovers QR-Code-Based Bypass Of Browser Isolation Security
SC Media, Thursday, December 12th, 2024
Mandiant has demonstrated a novel approach to bypass browser isolation security using QR codes to enable command-and-control operations, BleepingComputer reports.
Browser isolation is a widely used security measure that involves processing web content remotely in a cloud or virtual machine environment, ensuring only visual data streams are displayed on local browsers and preventing malicious code from executing on users' systems. This technology typically blocks C2 communications, as HTTP-based traffic is filtered during remote browser isolation.
