UI spoofing via crafted download URL
Published Mar 20, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
UI spoofing in Google Chrome Downloads before 123.0.6312.58 allows remote attackers to misrepresent download origins via a crafted URL. Google has not published the specific Downloads code path or the inconsistent URL-handling operation that causes the displayed origin to diverge from the actual source. A user must interact with attacker-supplied content; the documented consequence is misleading download UI, not code execution or data disclosure.
