I've come across some articles that discuss a 0.0.0.0 Day vulnerability in browsers which exploits Localhost APIs.  It impacts Google Chrome/Chromium, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari that run under macOS and Linux.   However, it does not affect Windows devices, as Microsoft blocks that IP address at the operating system level.
