**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Google Chrome versions prior to 51.0.2704.63 Opera (affected versions not specified) **Description** The issue is related to the ServiceWorkerContainer::registerServiceWorkerImpl function in WebKit/Source/modules/serviceworkers/ServiceWorkerContainer.cpp in Blink. This function allows remote attackers to bypass the Content Security Policy (CSP) protection mechanism via a ServiceWorker registration. The CSP is a security feature that helps detect and mitigate certain types of attacks, including cross-site scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks. **Recommendations** For Google Chrome versions prior to 51.0.2704.63, update to version 51.0.2704.63 or later to resolve the issue. For Opera, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the ServiceWorker registration functionality until a patch is available.
