Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/131.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Save a received attachement (e.g. test.exe) on a Windows PC with NTFS filesystem.
  2. Launch the saved file from the explorer.

Actual results:

The file is executed immediately.

Expected results:

The operating system should raise a message that the file is from an untrusted source (internet zone). Requesting explicit confirmation of the users trust.
This nowadays happens in any Webbrowser to avoid unwanted/unintended execution of potential unsafe files.
