Code execution via malicious file UI gestures
Published Jun 4, 2026 · Updated Jun 4, 2026
Code execution in PlatformIntegration in Google Chrome on Windows before 149.0.7827.53 allows remote attackers to run code via a malicious file. Google has not disclosed which PlatformIntegration operation mishandles the malicious file or how the UI gestures trigger execution. Exploitation requires no prior authentication, but it requires persuading a Windows user to perform specific gestures; success runs arbitrary code.
