1) write a well crafted exfil payload to mozilla or chrome directory (there are sqlite databases and files that store eg. indexeddb content) 2) trigger a tab open to attacker's website, website takes the exfil data from indexeddb and posts it to the server (have something inocuous looking on that website - like a fake npm homepage or whatever, so you don't close it fast enough)
from one step process, this will become universally usable two step process
absolutely. These attacks will evolve for sure, like the malware evolved on Microslop for years.

be sure not to use extra cli parameters like "firefox --new-tab <url>", because if the rule is filtering by process path + cmdline it'll trigger a pop-up to allow the outbound request.
Damn, good call. Really reinforces the need for sandboxing.
Still doesn’t negate the value of OpenSwitch, since the majority of malware won’t do that. But really good to keep in mind.
This is genius. Let's hope the hackers aren't reading this...
