[QUOTE="notabot, post: 795936, member: 75970"] I don’t see an attack vector with shortcuts. shortcuts become relevant only when malware has reached the PC and executes, the whole point of the setup is that it doesn’t, Chrome is restricted by GPO (google offers templates) to download only to a specific folder and that’s set to non executable, with WDAC it won’t be able to spawn child processes so even if it’s hijacted to bypass the GPO it won’t be able to execute. In this setup SRP is there for the tail risk that chrome itself becomes the malicious actor and tries eg to delete or upload something (though that’s partly covered by Win 10’s protected folders as well) It would be needed without WDAC probably but with WDAC I feel it’s redundant [/QUOTE]
