It isn’t really a “major attack surface” and it would be better to configure routers to rewrite DNS responses within the subnet that they control by default than to add an arbitrary set of rules to browsers, breaking all sorts of developer tools and other useful functionality.
Also, legitimate services on the local network have tools like CORS and CSPs as well as standard anti-XSS and anti-CSRF techniques to use to defend themselves.
- r00fus 7y agoWait, which is easier/more feasible - adding security to browsers which restricts a fringe usage, or corralling all the router manufacturers to update their software to rewrite DNS responses? Wouldn't it result in the same outcome anyway? Based on history I know which group I would expect to implement first.
