What happened
The Google Security Blog batch highlights multiple defensive initiatives across Google products: Pixel 10 integrates a memory-safe Rust DNS parser into the cellular modem firmware to reduce classes of memory-safety bugs in a high-risk attack surface; Chrome is rolling out Device Bound Session Credentials (DBSC) (publicly available on Windows in Chrome 146, coming to macOS) to proactively prevent cookie/session theft by making exfiltrated cookies unusable; Google Workspace continues an ongoing program of mitigations against indirect prompt injection (IPI) in LLM-powered apps; the Vulnerability
