When you download web assets such as HTML pages to a Windows device using a browser, the browser inserts a marker called the *mark of the web*, which records the security zone of the site from which the page originated. This is intended to protect from potentially malicious pages and enforce the security level on the original site, even after a page from the site is downloaded. This security check is required due to this security issue: [Visual Studio Remote Code Execution Vulnerability CVE-2018-8172](https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2018-8172).
