New threat type on Chromium?

[Fanny Dwargee]

Hi,

As you can see on https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/url-classifier/chromium/safebrowsing.proto...

// Types of threats.

enum ThreatType {

  // Unknown.

  THREAT_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED = 0;

  // Malware threat type.

  MALWARE_THREAT = 1;

  // Social engineering threat type.

  SOCIAL_ENGINEERING_PUBLIC = 2;

  // Unwanted software threat type.

  UNWANTED_SOFTWARE = 3;

  // Potentially harmful application threat type.

  POTENTIALLY_HARMFUL_APPLICATION = 4;

  // Social engineering threat type for internal use.

  SOCIAL_ENGINEERING = 5;

  // API abuse threat type.

  API_ABUSE = 6;

}

...there is a threat type (#6) not covered into the original v4 specification located at https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing/v4/reference/rest/v4/ThreatType

Is this a private threat type or is it related to the discrepancies reported by some users when Chrome/Firefox mark some URLs as potentially dangerous/phishing while direct use of the API v4 mark the same URLs as safe?

Regards,

Fanny

Hi Fanny,

Sharp eye :) That threat type is not available as part of the public API.
