Arbitrary Code Execution via Auto-Open List in Google Chrome

CVE-2015-1274 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:M/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Google Chrome before 44.0.2403.89 does not ensure that the auto-open list omits all dangerous file types, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by providing a crafted file and leveraging a user's previous "Always open files of this type" choice, related to download_commands.cc and download_prefs.cc.
