👉 A browser weapon, often referred to as a browser exploit or browser vulnerability, is a malicious code or technique designed to compromise the security and functionality of web browsers. These exploits take advantage of flaws in browser software, such as outdated code, unpatched security holes, or improper handling of user input. When a browser encounters such a vulnerability, it can be manipulated to execute unauthorized actions, steal sensitive information like passwords and credit card details, or redirect users to malicious websites. Browser weaponization involves crafting these exploits to infiltrate and control browsers, often through deceptive means like phishing links or malicious advertisements. To mitigate these threats, regular updates and security patches are crucial for maintaining browser integrity.
