can be called by the local page to allow the page to read the contents of local files or
directories or to load an arbitrary website in violation of same-origin policy, allowing
for data theft. In order for this vulnerability to be triggered, both the malicious HTML
file as well as the shortcut must be saved to the same local directory and then loaded
from there by a user.");
