Hello, Wget 1.25.0 seems to be exhibiting an issue on my Windows 10 systems.
ISSUE Files acquired with wget and saved to an NTFS volume have ACE entries that are not in canonical order. ENVIRONMENT Windows 10 22H2 (19045.5487) CYGWIN_NT-10.0-19045 X299 3.5.7-1.x86_64 2025-01-29 19:46 UTC x86_64 Cygwin GNU Wget 1.25.0 built on cygwin. STEPS TO REPRODUCE #1 Open a new command interpreter (cmd.exe). #2 Change the directory to a folder on an NTFS volume. #3 Execute the command 'wget https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/vs_Enterprise.exe '. #4 Execute the command 'icacls vs_Enterprise.exe /verify'. The output should read "vs_Enterprise.exe: Ace entries not in canonical order." Note that vs_Enterprise.exe can not be run from the command interpreter ("Access is denied.") or Windows Explorer ("Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."). WORKAROUNDS #1 Have wget save files to a FAT32 or exFAT volume. #2 Repair vs_Enterprise.exe's DACL by executing the command 'icacls vs_Enterprise.exe /reset'. Using the command 'icacls vs_Enterprise.exe' before and afterward, it can be noted that the the DACL will be changed from: NULL SID:(DENY)(Rc,S,WEA,X,DC) M0041\x:(R,W,D,WDAC,WO) M0041\None:(DENY)(S,X) NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:(DENY)(S,X) NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(DENY)(S,X) BUILTIN\Administrators:(DENY)(S,X) BUILTIN\Users:(DENY)(S,X) M0041\None:(RX) NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:(RX,W) NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(RX,W) BUILTIN\Administrators:(RX,W) BUILTIN\Users:(RX) Everyone:(R) to: BUILTIN\Administrators:(I)(F) NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(I)(F) NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:(I)(M) BUILTIN\Users:(I)(RX) ADDITIONAL NOTES #1 This issue is also exhibited on a relatively 'clean' Windows 10 virtual machine. #2 This issue occurs for several other files/URLs that I have recently tested.
