CVE-2018-5164

20
FAUCET Score

CVE-2018-5164 describes a Content Security Policy (CSP) bypass vulnerability in Firefox versions prior to 60, where CSP is not correctly applied to all parts of "multipart/x-mixed-replace" content. This flaw could enable cross-site scripting (XSS) and other attacks by allowing malicious scripts to execute in contexts where CSP should prevent them. Rated Medium severity (CVSS 6.1), it requires user interaction and network access, potentially leading to limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
