The Custom Button Installer dialog in Google Toolbar 4 and 5 beta presents certain domain names in the (1) "Downloaded from" and (2) "Privacy considerations" sections without verifying domain names, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof domain names and trick users into installing malicious button XML files, as demonstrated by presenting www.google.com when the button was downloaded from an arbitrary site through an open redirector on www.google.com.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a trust-spoofing issue in the Google Toolbar Custom Button Installer. The dialog could show a trusted domain, such as www.google.com, even when a button XML file came from another site. The business risk is user deception leading to installation of malicious toolbar buttons, mainly where old Google Toolbar 4 or 5 beta remains in use. Exposure appears limited to environments still running Google Toolbar 4 or Google Toolbar 5 beta with custom button installation enabled. The source bundle does not identify other affected products, supported platforms, or maintained versions. Treat this as a legacy-client exposure. It is unlikely to matter in modern standard builds, but any remaining Google Toolbar deployment should be removed or reviewed because the flaw undermines user trust decisions. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Google Toolbar 4 or 5 beta.; Remove or disable legacy Google Toolbar where no business need exists.; Avoid installing toolbar custom buttons from untrusted links..
