Avoid a security vulnerability in Safari
Authored by: xyz3 on Feb 22, '06 07:03:25PM

I suggest using:

defaults write com.apple.safari AutoOpenSafeDownloads -bool false

Which results in:

<key>AutoOpenSafeDownloads</key>
<false/>



defaults write com.apple.Safari AutoOpenSafeDownloads 0

The above command changes the bool to a string- and I am not positive if Safari respects this change.

<key>AutoOpenSafeDownloads</key>
<string>0</string>

After testing, it appears both string and bool work correctly in 10.4.5 with Safari Version 2.0.3 (417.8) - at the present time.
