CVE-2016-5132

Status: ModifiedHigh (8.8)—

The Service Workers subsystem in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.82 does not properly implement the Secure Contexts specification during decisions about whether to control a subframe, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via an https IFRAME element inside an http IFRAME element.

CVSS
