Since I'm not very familiar with architecure of Firefox I just ask my question and hope someone is nice enough to answer it. :-)
So now my question, is it possible to develop an exploit which runs inside the browser and uses the browser itself to offer a hacker remote access to my PC? The reason why I'm asking, I'm currently working on a security concept for a workinggroup. The concept includes a proxy where each http traffic is directed to. Each browser must authenticate to the proxy. In my concept the proxy is the only way to get into the internet. A trojan horse which is running from a PC can't connect to the internet because it doesn't know how and even if it would know how it it doesn't know how to authenticate to the proxy. But if browse with my Firefox to a website which got hacked and is used to distribute an exploit which runs out of my browser and with the cooperation of the browser, it is very simple for the exploit to get contact to the internet because Firefox knows why. Is it possible? Thanks for hints. _______________________________________________ dev-security mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security
