Description The issue is a security bypass vulnerability related to file-type extensions.

However, file extensions not on either list can still be opened after a warning prompt, potentially allowing remote code execution.

For versions 2017.011.30066 and earlier, update to a version later than 2017.011.30066 to resolve the issue. For versions 2015.006.30355 and earlier, update to a version later than 2015.006.30355 to resolve the issue.
