Use of extended attributes in downloads in Google Chrome prior to 72.0.3626.81 allowed a local attacker to read download URLs via the filesystem.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This Chrome flaw could expose the URLs of files a user downloaded. It requires a local attacker with filesystem access, so it is mainly a privacy and information-disclosure issue rather than a remote compromise path. Exposure is limited to systems still running Google Chrome before 72.0.3626.81 or downstream packages that included the vulnerable build. Modern managed Chrome installations are less likely exposed if updates are enforced. Treat this as low priority unless legacy Chrome is present on sensitive or shared endpoints. The main concern is privacy leakage from downloaded-file metadata, not remote takeover. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Chrome to 72.0.3626.81 or later.; Check vendor package advisories for downstream Chromium or Chrome builds.; Remove or isolate unsupported legacy Chrome installations..
