Active exploitationNonot in the CISA catalog
Public exploitNot knownno public code found
Google Chrome before 4.0.249.78 on Windows does not perform the expected encoding, escaping, and quoting for the URL in the --app argument in a desktop shortcut, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs or obtain sensitive information by tricking a user into creating a crafted shortcut.
CVSS
