Code Injection
Hi, ## Summary: This vulnerability is pretty simple and pretty dangerous at the same time Almost any link the user tries to download it's extension is set according to the file extension in the path if the path is `/` then it download's it according to the domain name Eg: [1] http://example.com/example.php if the user downloaded the link the file type would be `.php` that's not very dangerous though [2] http://example.com/example.exe if the user downloaded the link the file type would be `.exe` Okey that's dangerous but it requires a lot of social engineering [3] http://example.com/ if the user downloaded the link the file type would be `.com` this requires less social engineering and it's pretty dangerous why? because `.com` files are executable files which may can do what `.exe` can do here's links about `.com` files https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COM_file and the difference between `.exe` and `.com` https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20080324-00/?p=23033 there's a new many domain names which may can create malicious extensions like `.com` as example `.com.py` which can create a python file any website can make his favorable extension in the domain path and when the user downloads it it will be downloaded by the extension as example http://example.com/example.exe ## Products affected: windows 10 x64 brave latest version ## Steps To Reproduce: there is 3 ways to reproduce [1] execute this html `<a href="http://example.com" download>http://example.com</a>` right click on the link > Save Link as... > Save [2] go to http://example.com right click > Save Page as... > Save [3] execute this html and directly click the link it will download directly `<a href="http://example.com" download>http://example.com</a>` ####Note : The none exist pages can't be downloaded ---------- Any link the users tries to download must be `.htm` or `.html` ## Supporting Material/References: F135079 Thanks!
