Descriptions

Google Chrome prior to 56.0.2924.76 for Linux, Windows and Mac, and 56.0.2924.87 for Android, failed to require a user gesture for powerful download operations, which allowed a remote attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page.

Google Chrome en versiones anteriores a 56.0.2924.76 para Linux, Windows y Mac y 56.0.2924.87 para Android, no pudo requerir un gesto de usuario para operaciones de descarga potentes, lo que permitió a un atacante remoto que convenció a un usuario para instalar una extensión maliciosa para ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una página HTML manipulada.
