Secunia, a professional provider of IT security solutions, published its quarterly Vulnerability Report, which ranks the top 20 most vulnerable products for the months of May, June, and July 2015.
Astonishingly, according to Secunia's research, during a period of only three months, the Avant Browser managed to top the vulnerability list with 206 reported vulnerabilities.
The reason for this security fiasco can be explained by two small, but very important details.
First the Avant Browser combines the Google Chrome and Firefox rendering engines in the same browser, meaning all the vulnerabilities in those two browsers also show up in Avant.
Secondly, the browser is usually updated sporadically, only a few times per year, meaning vulnerabilities for longer time spans are reported in a short window of time, around the release date.
