chrome security chrome news Important : Security Issue on Google Chrome, and Fix

Chrome Security

A security issue was reported on Google Chrome, which could be used for “cross-website scripting attacks”. No worries, Google has already has a new version of Chrome which fixes this issue. Here is another happy news, you don’t need to update chrome, Google Chrome will automatically update to the new version, you just need to restart it to take effect.

Here is more on the security issue.

In a blog posting, Mark Larson, Google Chrome program manager, wrote:

“An error in handling URLs with a chromehtml: protocol could allow an attacker to run scripts of his choosing on any page or enumerate files on the local disk under certain conditions.”

“If a user has Google Chrome installed, visiting an attacker-controlled web page in Internet Explorer could have caused Google Chrome to launch, open multiple tabs, and load scripts that run after navigating to a URL of the attacker’s choice. Such an attack only works if Chrome is not already running.”

Now, just double check to make sure that your Google Chrome installation is up to date, and feel safe ! If you do not know how to check if Google Chrome version is up to date, here is ChromeStory’s post on this. Questions ? Drop me a comment !!

TIP: Want to Know When a Plugin is available for twitter ? Bookmark this blog or subscribe to RSS or via Email, We will keep you posted !! its FREE

I was thinking about the time when Google Chrome will officially start supporting plugins. Which plugin will be the most wanted plugin ?

I believe it will be Twitter plugin, something similar to twitterfox, a firefox plugin for twitter. With the growing number of twitter users the demand for such a plugin also, have become so huge. When plugins are ready, it will be the most downloaded plugin, I believe.

Another interesting thing to notice, will be the compeition among plugin developers to be the most downloaded plugin for Twitter on Google Chrome platform. Who will make it big this time ?  I think, most of those plugin developers will have their plans ready, and most of their code too already.
