    Orange is a legend and this chain is extremely impressive here.

    No memory corruptions, no heap shenanigans, just pure logic bugs, almost made easy to understand for the reader.

    As a bonus, they also posted a reverse chain: popping Edge from calc [0].

    I always felt bad about the whole site/browser cross integration that chrome and edge and others do. Now I feel really really really bad about it. Can almost see the marketing team's emails about what features to add, and the developers unwantingly writing the code not expecting such things to open so many holes

    > So even if you’ve never created a User Profile in the browser, just visiting www.microsoft.com is enough for Edge to create one and sign you in automatically.

    This is disgusting behaviour, RCE chain or not.

      Has been for a long time.

      It's more that LLMs increasingly outperform humans in finding vulnerabilities, so the share of human discoveries goes down.

      If you can understand nuance and context, you would realise the phrase right before that is saying that he's not going to go into details about how navigation itself works in Chrome/Edge, and to watch the presentation from Google itself about those specific details if you are so inclined.

      If you then continued on to read the remainder of the article, you would also discover that there was no AI assistance in this research at all.

      It's your loss. The whole article is very good written.

        And much better for not going into needless detail.

        In fact, a problem with LLMs is that they consistently write more than I want to read.

      The article does actually go pretty in detail about the exploit.

      Same; either put in the work to think it through and show us your thought process and conclusions, or just post your prompts and call it a day and everyone gets to move on.

        If you continued to read the article, you would discover that he indeed goes through his entire thought process in building this chain. Including the fact this was done with no AI assistance at all.

          I stand corrected then, I’ll return to it!

        Imagine missing such a great bug-chain because an off-hand AI comment at the start put you off
