Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to the way iframes are handled by the browser. If a document created a sandboxed iframe without allow-scripts
,
and subsequently appended an element to the iframe's document that e.g.
had a JavaScript event handler - the event handler would have run
despite the iframe's sandbox.
