There is a thread currently on here that if you have media preview turned on, automatically downloads a file. Thread is Here.

This could be a huge security issue because if a bad actor put a payload in a file that just auto downloads, some people might just open it not knowing what it is.

Not sure where to post bugs, so I figured this might be the place for now.

I was taking a look at the same issue earlier in another thread.

Both of the issues are from CBS news.

Was yours trying to download a playlist file as well?

Edit to add link to previous issue:
