The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of W3C Content Security Policy. If Content Security Policy blocked frame navigation, the full destination of a redirect served in the frame was reported in the violation report; as opposed to the original frame URI. A remote attacker can gain knowledge of sensitive information contained in such URIs.
