I found these alerts so hilarious… You have no idea how many vulnerabilities are discovered by grey/blackhat hackers. Even whitehat working for the governments not reporting them to have more variety of back doors.
But ok… Update and “be” protected. 🤣

Yes but this is a vulnerability now open to the public that script kiddies are going to utilize so unless you want your data grabbed by a 14yo larper for opening an image in your browser update your browser

Why are script kiddies always, kids?
Not a single child I knew growing up knew how to program.

That’s the point script kiddies refers to young peoples with low to no technical knowledge using tools made by other peoples.

But that’s why it’s misleading.
Most of the people writing these scripts to exploit known vulnerabilities are not young. It’s just an insult to people who write scripts.

I think the term is as much a comment on maturity as it is literal age.

That’s the thing. It’s a comment on maturity, not literal age.
