low Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 9374

Synopsis

The remote mobile host is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability.

Description

The version of Google Chrome for Android on the remote mobile host is prior to 50.0.2661.75 and thus is unpatched for a flaw that is triggered as the names of downloaded files from the content disposition are not properly sanitized.
