  • and these browsers are specifically not that… these browsers are intended to do things like categorise tabs, complete forms, etc automatically without your interaction

    of course they’ll ask before they do things they consider destructive, but what they consider destructive and what a malicious actor can use are very different things

    some of that is certainly benign, but the point with prompt injection is that it can take benign things and make them plausibly malicious

    this law covers the fediverse. aussie.zone now has a verification process

    i agree with the above commenter: something should be done, but this is the wrong way to do it… it creates problems and effectively solves none

    real vibes of

    The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia.

  • i completely agree, i just don’t think that particular line of reasoning (not taking into account anonymous sites) proves that

    if they wanted to do it properly, they’d have a system that integrates with mygovid that sites can integrate with via some oauth-like flow (login with facebook, login with google, etc: but verify with mygov), and the only thing the site gets back is a “yes over 16”

    the government has this data; there’s no reason anyone else should see it

    of course that’s also assuming the whole concept is a good idea, which is absolutely not… it’s wallpapering over a massive problem whilst solving absolutely nothing and causing issues





  • the vuln afaik is for remote code execution via basically a mechanism that’s kinda like a transparent RPC to the server (think like you just write frontend code with like a “getUsers” and it just automatically retrieves and deserializes the results so you can render the UI without worrying about how that data exists in the browser)

    i’m not a front end engineer, and haven’t used react server components, but i am a principal software engineer, i do react for personal projects, and have written react professionally

    i can’t think of a way it’d be exploitable via purely client-side means

    i THINK what they mean is that you can use some of the RSC stuff without the RPC-style interfaces, and in that case they say the server component is still vulnerable, but you still need react things running on your server

    a huge majority of react code is client-side only, with server-side code written in other languages/frameworks and interfaces with something like REST or GraphQL (or even RPC of course)
