QR codes bypass browser isolation for malicious C2 communication
Briefly

Mandiant has identified a new method to bypass browser isolation, enabling command-and-control operations through QR codes, highlighting vulnerabilities in existing security measures.
The newly developed technique demonstrates that while browser isolation inherently protects local devices, it is not entirely foolproof, showing the need for a layered defense approach.
Command-and-control servers, which rely on HTTP for communication, typically struggle against browser isolation measures; however, Mandiant's findings highlight a weakness that attackers may exploit.
The continuous interaction between browsers and remote servers necessitates the use of isolation to protect sensitive information, reinforcing the complexity of safeguarding against sophisticated attacks.
