    Hi,
    The “PoC Google Chrome exploit” seems to be fixed already :)

    This is NOT a true exploit. It only tells the browser to download a .exe file. The same “exploit” works on any other browser, the difference is that Chrome has auto-download enabled by default.

    Imo, I love the autodownload feature and it could come disabled in default configuration to the newbies :)
