Hi, I tried to run my python code through .exe file for my work automation, but my computer was blocked to run by the information security department of my company.

So I came up with a method that using google extension to run .exe file that I made, but does .exe file which limited to running be executed through Chrome extension ?

It will most likely go through the same way a regular download run by the browser when the user clicks on a download does.
So, no, I believe extensions cannot avoid it just by using the downloads API. I believe this is an operating-system-level protection, not a browser one.
However, with native messaging, after the user installs your specially-crafted native application for this purpose, I guess you can avoid it, because I believe native applications can mark files as safe.
