Google · Google Chrome · CVE-2023-5857
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Google Chrome versions prior to 119.0.6045.105
**Description**
The issue is related to an inappropriate implementation in the Downloads component of Google Chrome, which may allow a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code via a malicious file. This could be achieved by exploiting the vulnerability through a specially crafted web page, potentially leading to unauthorized access to protected information.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 119.0.6045.105, update to version 119.0.6045.105 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the Downloads component until a patch is applied. Avoid using the Downloads feature with untrusted or malicious files until the issue is resolved.
