CVE-2017-5118 describes a vulnerability in Google Chrome versions prior to 61.0.3163.79 (Mac, Windows, Linux) and 61.0.3163.81 (Android), where Content Security Policy (CSP) restrictions were not properly applied to JavaScript scheme pages, allowing remote attackers to bypass CSP via a crafted HTML page.
