Comodo is one of the major security provider in cyber security field and they are providing Firewall, Browser and also Digital Certificates to their users. Recently there has been a news that Comodo is having the security features disabled by default.
Comodo is having a #Chromodo browser that has a in-built free Antivirus from Comodo. The browser is said to be "Private Internet Browser". A Security researcher identified that it has a security feature disabled by Default.
#Same Origin Policy (#SOP) is one of the feature used in browsers which prevents unauthorised access from other domains. The functionality is like consider you are visiting www.example.com then the data can only be communicated to example.com domain only.
If someone from testing.com domain can get the details meant for example.com then it will cause a major threat to user credentials.
This policy has been disabled by default in the Chromodo Browser. It may possess a big problem if any attack done at sophisticated level.
If you want to check your browser click this link and see whether you are getting "Your browser appears to be fine" pop up if you get "Your browser not enforcing SOP...." then you have to act.
P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
