- Its Chrome-flaw example checks Chrome and Chromium-based apps such as Slack and VS Code, while marking Safari unaffected.
Field notes
The public briefing dates individual advisories and distinguishes items marked as actively exploited from other news. In its Chrome example, the app checks Chrome as well as Chromium-based software behind Slack and Visual Studio Code, then marks Safari unaffected. The download information specifies macOS 14 or later on both Apple silicon and Intel; the page says every check is free and separately offers Pro pricing.
