New Browser Attack Allows Tracking Users Online With JavaScript Disabled Researchers have discovered a new side-channel that they say can be reliably exploited to leak information from web browsers that could then be leveraged to track users even when JavaScript is completely disabled. "This is a side-channel attack which doesn't require any JavaScript to run," the researchers said. "This means script blockers cannot stop it. The attacks work even if you strip out all of the fun parts of the web browsing experience. This makes it very difficult to prevent without modifying deep parts of the o...

  Security researchers have discovered what appears to be the first browser side-channel attack that's Javascript-free, and Apple M1 chips may be more vulnerable to it. The attack is built entirely from HTML and CSS, and is described as "architecturally agnostic." The researchers say they've found it to work across Intel, Samsung, AMD, and Apple Silicon CPUs, according to The 8-Bit. According to a research paper published by Cornell University, the researchers say they started with the goal of exploring how effective disabling or restricting JavaScript could be in mitigating attacks.
