"In its current form, WebGL is not a technology Microsoft can endorse from a security perspective." "We believe that WebGL will likely become an ongoing source of hard-to-fix vulnerabilities," Microsoft said. Microsoft, though, is worried that it's too insecure because it exposes new low-level interfaces to downloaded code, especially given that responsibilities for closing security holes lies in part with graphics hardware makers who lack experience in the area. WebGL opens up online possibilities such as virtual worlds and graphically rich games, and it's built into Mozilla's Firefox and Google's Chrome today. WebGL, a new standard from Khronos Group, lets Web programmers add hardware-accelerated 3D graphics to the Web with an interface that mirrors the OpenGL ES 2.0 standard used among other places in Android and iOS devices. Mozilla has answered Microsoft's concern that WebGL raises too many security risks with the observation that Microsoft itself has accepted the same risks with 3D interface technology coming with its own Silverlight browser plug-in.
