CVE-2018-5175 describes a Content Security Policy (CSP) bypass vulnerability in Firefox versions prior to 60. This flaw allows an attacker, given an HTML injection vulnerability on a target website, to inject a specific version of the "require.js" library from Firefox's Developer Tools to circumvent 'strict-dynamic' CSP restrictions on script execution. 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 (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant media coverage, though it has garnered some community discussion.
