A design error in Opera 8.01 and earlier allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code by overlaying a malicious new window above a file download dialog box, then tricking the user into double-clicking on the "Run" button, aka "link hijacking".

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Opera browser issue where a malicious site could trick a user into running a downloaded file by hiding the real download dialog under another window. It required user interaction, but successful exploitation could run arbitrary code in the user's context. Exposure is likely limited to systems still running Opera 8.01 or earlier. Normal modern enterprise browser fleets should not be affected unless obsolete Opera builds remain on unmanaged, kiosk, lab, or legacy endpoints. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item, not an emergency, unless obsolete Opera versions are present. If found on production endpoints, prioritize removal because the impact is arbitrary code execution. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Opera 8.01 or earlier, including legacy and unmanaged systems.; Retire obsolete Opera builds or upgrade according to Opera vendor guidance.; Review the Opera 8.02 changelog and related advisories for vendor-stated resolution details..
