One of the feature that separates the Arc browser from its competitors is the ability to customize websites. The feature called "Boosts" allows users to change a website's background color, switch to a font they like or one that makes it easier for them to read and even remove an unwanted elements from the page completely. Their alterations aren't supposed to be be visible to anyone else, but they can share them across devices. Now, Arc's creator, the Browser Company, has admitted that a security researcher found a serious flaw that would've allowed attackers to use Boosts to compromise their targets' systems.
The company used Firebase, which the security researcher known as "xyzeva" described as a "database-as-a-backend service" in their post about the vulnerability, to support several Arc features. For Boosts, in particular, it's used to share and sync customizations across devices. In xyzeva's post, they showed how the browser relies on a creator's identification (creatorID) to load Boosts on a device. They also shared how someone could change that element to their target's identification tag and assign that target Boosts that they had created.
If a bad actor makes a Boost with a malicious payload, for instance, they can just change their creatorID to the creatorID of their intended target. When the intended victim then visits the website on Arc, they could unknowingly download the hacker's malware. And as the researcher explained, it's pretty easy to get user IDs for the browser. A user who refer someone to Arc will share their ID to the recipient, and if they also created an account from a referral, the person who sent it will also get their ID. Users can also share their Boosts with others, and Arc has a page with public Boosts that contain the creatorIDs of the people who made them.
In its post, the Browser Company said xyzeva notified it about the security issue on August 25 and that it issued a fix a day later with the researcher's help. It also assured users that nobody got to exploit the vulnerability, no user was affected. The company has also implemented several security measures to prevent a similar situation, including moving off Firebase, disabling Javascript on synced Boosts by default, establishing a bug bounty program and hiring a new senior security engineer.

The Blu-ray release collects the first 16 episodes of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End season one, plus a few special features like clean credit sequences, promotional videos, and more. It also includes a set of art cards featuring several of the characters from the main cast.
Preorder at Crunchyroll Adapted from an original manga series, the anime follows the titular Frieren, a powerful elf who has lived for over 1,000 years. By the time the show begins, she has just completed a 10-year-long quest to defeat the Demon King, alongside the heroes Himmel, Eisen, and Heiter. Because of her long life, a decade is nothing more than a brief moment in time for Frieren, and as the decades pass, Frieren slowly begins to understand human mortality and the connections she forges along the way. The result is an incredibly emotional series that hits you right in the feels, and with famed animation studio Madhouse bringing everything to life, Frieren looks magical.

It was originally designed and created by a team of first-time developers in south Italy in around 2001. The original team couldn’t find a publisher in 2001. This passionate team of young artists and coders were essentially not that experienced and while the game has potential as the combat…
