Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to manipulate file a downloaded extension.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. If a user saved a response from the Network tab in Devtools using the Save As context menu option, that file may not have been saved with the .download file extension. This could have led to the user inadvertently running a malicious executable.
Remediation
Install updates from vendor's website.
