CVE-2023-32049 is a Windows SmartScreen security feature bypass vulnerability affecting supported Windows platforms. The flaw allows an attacker to circumvent SmartScreen’s protective handling for content originating from the Internet, specifically by preventing or bypassing the "Open File - Security Warning" prompt that would normally be shown when a user downloads and opens untrusted files. Available reporting indicates exploitation can be triggered through a specially crafted URL and requires persuading a user to click or open the attacker-controlled content. The vulnerability was reported as exploited in the wild as a zero-day prior to patching.
