Google Chrome before 4.0.249.78 on Windows does not perform the expected encoding, escaping, and quoting for the URL in the --app argument in a desktop shortcut, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs or obtain sensitive information by tricking a user into creating a crafted shortcut.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Chrome-on-Windows issue could let an attacker misuse a crafted desktop shortcut after convincing a user to create it. The impact could include launching arbitrary programs or exposing sensitive information. It is fixed in Chrome 4.0.249.78 or later, but source data does not show active exploitation. Exposure should be limited to Windows systems still running Chrome before 4.0.249.78 or retaining unsafe shortcuts created with that version. Modern managed Chrome deployments are unlikely to be affected, but legacy images, lab systems, and unmanaged endpoints warrant checking. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue unless affected Chrome builds still exist. If old Windows images or unmanaged endpoints are present, prioritize removal because the stated impact includes arbitrary program execution. Mitigation focus: Upgrade any affected Windows Chrome installation to 4.0.249.78 or later.; Check vendor Chromium guidance for legacy remediation details.; Remove untrusted Chrome application shortcuts from affected endpoints..
