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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient process isolation when handling "javascript:" URI links. An attacker can trick the victim into clicking on a specially crafted link and execute content in the top-level document's process instead of the intended frame.
