Problem Statement
Our users often get hacked via vulnerable third party plug-ins.
Proposal
Add scripts on common landing pages to check for vulnerable plug-ins and assist the user in updating them.
Components
- Script and alert on landing pages
- Page that checks all the common plug-ins
Landing pages
First Run (stage 1)
Add an alert that checks the first time a user opens Firefox:
Message: We detected that some of your media plug-ins are vulnerable, click here for more info.
This should be non-evasive, as we do not want to have the user have trouble getting started with Firefox.
