Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OS X versions prior to 10.11.4

Description The issue is related to the Content Security Policy (CSP) implementation in the Messages component of Apple OS X. It allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a javascript: URL. The vulnerability is associated with a lack of protection for sensitive data, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to gain confidential information by navigating to a JavaScript link.
