Force file download without user interaction

Reported by stuartne...@gmail.com, Jul 26

Issue description

This template is ONLY for reporting Download Protection Bypass bugs within
Chrome and is not for requesting a review of sites or binaries identified
as malicious.

VERSION
Chrome Version: 68.0.3440.75 + stable
Operating System: Windows 10 Home Version 1803 build 17134.165

REPRODUCTION CASE
Please include a demonstration of the Download Protection / Safe Browsing
bug, such as an attached HTML or binary file that reproduces the bug when
loaded in Chrome. PLEASE make the file as small as possible and remove any
content not required to demonstrate the bug.

When the attached html file is loaded by chrome, a file is downloaded. In the example test provided, the javascript function "download" downloads the file 
peview.exe and saves it to the Downloads folder as download.exe.

This javascript allows websites to force users to download files without any interaction with the webpage.

Thanks for reporting the issue.

If the user has not disabled automatic downloads and Safe Browsing doesn't consider the file unsafe, then the file is allowed to auto-download.

Please feel free to re-open the bug if you can get a file that should have been blocked by Safe Browsing to auto-download.
