WebGL Security Risks

Original release date: May 10, 2011 at 11:35 am
Last revised: May 10, 2011 at 11:35 am


US-CERT is aware of reports indicating that WebGL contains multiple
significant security issues. The impact of these issues includes
arbitrary code execution, denial of service, and cross-domain attacks.
WebGL is a new web standard that is enabled by default in Firefox 4
and Google Chrome and is included in Safari.

US-CERT encourages users and administrators to review the Context
report and disable WebGL to help mitigate the risks.
